Description

Summary of the bug:

When I use ffmpeg with h264_qsv encoder,it will result in a message that says"QSV requires a fixed frame pool size"

[Parsed_overlay_qsv_2 @ 0x53e2080] Input[0] is of qsv.

A patch on libav (https://patches.libav.org/patch/64133/) should can make it workable though it is not perfect.

Here's the workaround:

Add this filter argument to hwupload:

hwupload=extra_hw_frames=1234 (replace with suitable value, probably something like 10 works for you here).

Rationale:

The filter option extra_hw_frames passed to the hwupload video filter is used to set an initial pool size.

For the settings, if it's feeding into a scaler, then probably 2 or 3 frames are sufficient, but if it's feeding into an encoder with look-ahead enabled, then you might need over 100. As such, it's currently under user control.

So, for the snippet above, you'd add the option explained above like this:

./ffmpeg -hwaccel qsv -vcodec h264_qsv -i "high_1280_720_120s.flv" -vf "movie=test.png,hwupload=extra_hw_frames=10 [watermark]; [vf0][watermark] overlay_qsv=x=30:y=30[vf1]" -acodec libfdk_aac -ar 44100 out.mp4

Confirm that it works for you.
