Video Codec exception on load

Hi I’m trying to run the examples from the library on an Xavier AGX.

  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  • Video Codec SDK 11
  • Cuda compilation tools, release 10.2, V10.2.89

However I encounter an exception on the call:

NvEncoder::LoadNvEncApi()
{
    uint32_t version = 0;
    uint32_t currentVersion = (NVENCAPI_MAJOR_VERSION << 4) | NVENCAPI_MINOR_VERSION;
    NVENC_API_CALL(NvEncodeAPIGetMaxSupportedVersion(&version));


    if (currentVersion > version)
    {
        NVENC_THROW_ERROR("Current Driver Version does not support this NvEncodeAPI version, please upgrade     driver", NV_ENC_ERR_INVALID_VERSION);
    }

    m_nvenc = { NV_ENCODE_API_FUNCTION_LIST_VER };
    NVENC_API_CALL(NvEncodeAPICreateInstance(&m_nvenc));
}

I get the error:

GPU in use: Xavier
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NVENCException'
  what():  LoadNvEncApi : NvEncodeAPIGetMaxSupportedVersion(&version) returned error -678108180 at     /home/agx/talos/src/talos_video/include/nvenc/NvEncoder.cpp:61

Aborted (core dumped)

The returned error is always a random negativ int.

Do you have any idea what might cause this behaviour?

Best regards
Michael

Ok, for everyone who is trying to work with nvidia codec sdk, it is not working with jetson. The right api is the jetson multimedia api Jetson Linux API Reference: Main Page | NVIDIA Docs
