Hi, does the hardware acceleration work on 1.36.5?

I have Ubuntu 20.04 installed on a machine with a Quadro K4100M card, driver version 390.144. How can I enable hardware acceleration?
ffmpeg reports cuda-support:

Hardware acceleration methods:
vdpau
cuda
vaapi
drm
opencl
cuvid

Thanks, I haven't enabled that, but will check it.

Hi all, I have a fresh install of 1.36.5. In the logs I see the error message "Failed to create hwdevice_ctx" for all the cameras.

Ubuntu 20.04, Intel machine.

Is there something basic I have missed? Any tips?

Thanks

to:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin "/var/www/zm/cgi-bin"

Thanks, codabiz.

Did you manage to install it with ffmpeg + h.264? Do you have a step by step guide for doing this?

Thanks.

windracer, how did you fix the outdated libavcodec issue? I have the same problem related to avcodec_encode_video2.. Thanks. Ok, I managed to compile 1.26b3. It was indeed some outdated libavcodec libraries that was causing my error. After getting all of that cleaned up, the compile finished and I ...

Hi, I'm trying to build ZM but get an issue with undefined reference to `avcodec_encode_video2'.

It seems to be related to the libavcodec version. I see somewhere that `avcodec_encode_video2' is only available in libavcodec54.

Does anybody know how to solve this?

Cheers,
