The former (Redistributables). The latter is only for when you want to develop or modify the plugin to do what you want.

Ok thanks.

Hi there just got a quick question.

For this plugin, would it be better to install the VS 2015 from these:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

Or would it be better to install the VS 2015 Update 3 from here:

https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/older-downloads/

Does it make much of a difference at all?

Microsoft would be the best place as they should always have the most compatible and latest updates available. Though this is entirely at the discretion of the developer of any software as to the libraries they used and where they sourced them from. If you have need of VS libraries in order to have functionality of this plugin, be sure to follow the directions of the plugin developer (Same for any software you use)

Edit: zzz @ being sick and not doing F5 on a tab I had pulled up a while ago...

hi drg70595 i already have visual studio redistributes 2015 installed on my system.

@drg70595 also i cant install vs studio 2015 redistributes by itself because the installer keeps saying i could not install it, maybe its because of the other multiple installations installed from other software

hey @Xaymar i don't know if this info will be helpful but my video editing software (hitfilm express 2017) renders videos perfectly fine when set to use my gpu, the same gpu that obs crashes on

@Xaymar i went ahead with uninstalling the amd drivers and then reinstalling them and i'm still having the problem with obs crashing on my gpu

i managed to get obs running on my gpu by disabling my apus graphics, now i just have to check obs settings @Xaymar

@Xaymar everything seems fine i just need to do a test recording tomorrow

 

[3Necromancer]

how to check what version of the AMF i have installed?

 

[Nicholas Josey-T.D.B [YT]]

@3Necromancer i don't know but maybe it will say it in programs and features in control panel

hey @Xaymar since i have found a workaround and i am able to get into obs the amf encoder seems to be disabling itself and as far as im aware my gpu is in the supported hardware list in version 1.2.0rc1 the options show but it fails to record in 2.2.4 i cant find any amf related settings anywhere in obs

GPU: AMD Radeon R5 M330

Workaround: disabling the apu graphics in device manager when using obs so my laptop has to use the gpu

@Xaymar im running obs with the --verbose --unfiltered_log parameters and now this is showing up in the settings im using version 2.2.4

@Xaymar i have tried recording with my APU's graphics disabled and it fails to start recording i have attached all the logs from the 19th to 20th of november And as far as im aware my gpu (Amd Radeon R5 M330) is supported by your plugin i read through one log and apparently the plugin is disabling itself because no supported gpu is found but my gpu is supported

You do not have any AMD driver installed. Additionally, please use the edit post functionality in the future, it does not help anyone if you multipost several times after another.

Edit: Oh and reinstall OBS completely, how did you even manage to have two different versions of the plugin running at the same time?

@JuriHanIsMyWaifu Please read the troubleshooting guide, it's designed to exactly help solve problems like that. Without any information the Troubleshooting Guide gives you, the best I can say is that your GPU does not have a VCE or HEVC unit.

 

[BornDownUnder]

@JuriHanIsMyWaifu If you cannot find your video card model on the page in the link below, it does not have support for this plugin:

[JuriHanIsMyWaifu]

I used the AMF speedtest and this is what I got (caps.txt), can someone break it down for me?
I also used the Media SDK version and got it to show the encoder but when I record it it crashes and i took a look at the log file and this is what I found (attached below)
thanks in advance

 

[BornDownUnder]

@JuriHanIsMyWaifu
Unfortunately your video adapter is not supported for encoding using VCE, for a comparison here is my AMF SpeedTest Caps.txt and the last logfile of mine where I did some recordings.

Also, the SDK version is for development use for branches of the plugin, not end-user.

 

[JuriHanIsMyWaifu]

@BornDownUnder
Oh so that's what's wrong, I really appreciate the time and effort you used to help answer my questions as I am brain dead when it comes to these types of things, thank you again for your time good sir!

 

[BornDownUnder]

No problem at all and thank you for the appreciation!

Xaymar updated AMD Advanced Media Framework Encoder Plugin for OBS Studio with a new update entry:

2.3.1 - The Blacklist and imroved support for Replay Buffer

It unfortunately had to come to this. The plugin now finally blacklists older drivers, as it otherwise would turn into an unmaintainable mess trying to support everything back to 16.11.5, the first driver that had AMD AMF support. That means that from this day on, all future versions will only work with a minimum runtime version of 1.4.6.0. So if you're still using an older driver: What are you doing? Update already!

In addition to that, the plugin should now work better with the new...

Read the rest of this update entry...

Hi, I was wondering if my desktop/graphics card has support for this?

AMD A8-6600K 3.9GHz Quad Core APU with Radeon HD 8570D graphics

 

[Xaymar]

@Shafski According to AMD, the SoC CPU/GPU combo you have supports VCE. If you have updated your GPU driver to the most recent version on amd.com you should be able to use the plugin.

Ah I have the 16.2.1 Crimson Beta Drivers, trying to install anything newer it doesn't allow me as shown below. I can download the newest driver but when I run the installer I am not given the option to actually install the newer driver. I'm not sure if updates for my APU/GPU or whatever it is were discontinued(?). It's a real shame! I used to use the VCE fork by jacun to stream and it ran really well for me so was looking forward to this, and would even be a donator as this kind of thing really makes a difference to my life. I guess upgrading my graphics card is the only option?

 

[Xaymar]

@Shafski Looks like it. Your APU may only support the Media SDK based version, which you can download here. Please note that Media SDK has been abandoned by AMD and replaced by AMF SDK, so I can not update that version. You'll be on your own with any issues you find while using it.

Hi guys,
I only have CQP for streaming on my system, no CBR/VBR. The recording have CQP, CBR, VBR and VBRLAT.
Whats recommended streaming settings for CQP? The only options are i-frame and p-frame value 0-51
