Nvencode supported on xavier nx?

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Xavier NX

I’m trying to get my nvencode based video streaming code working on a xavier nx, since there seems to be a nvencode driver installed on the system. However, nvEncOpenEncodeSessionEx fails with status code 2: UNSUPPORTED_DEVICE.
Driver version 10.0 running on the system. Using nvEncApi.h version 10.0 as well.

Is nvencode really not supported on the xavier nx, or am I doing something wrong?

The code was developed for geforce and quadro cards, and runs perfectly fine on those.

Thanks for your hints.
Best regards,

Philippe.

Hi,

It is specific to desktop GPU and not supported on Jetson platforms. On Jetson platforms, we support gstreamer and jetson_multimedia_api. You may consider to use jetson_multimedia_api and take a look at 01_video_encode:
https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/l4t-multimedia/l4t_mm_01_video_encode_group.html
After the installation, the samples are in

/usr/src/jetson_multimedia_api/
