Summary of the bug:
After switching over to building with onevpl some systems with older Intel
Windows drivers will fail to create hwdevice context. One system in
particular has an Intel HD Graphics 4400 driver 20.19.15.4531 from
9/29/2016. There was also another system that had drivers dated to 2018,
but unfortunately that system is no longer available so I can't give more
driver details than that.
Upgrading the drivers will resolve it, but we have customers that are
already working and we don't want them to have to upgrade drivers to get
the software working again after an upgrade.
Basically `MFXCreateSession` fails for some of these older drivers. I've
modified the code to fallback to the else clause version of
`*_create_mfx_session` which uses `MFXInitEx` instead and it resolves the
issue.
How to reproduce:
{{{
AVBufferRef* ctx= nullptr;
AVDictionary* dict = nullptr;
av_dict_set(&dict, "child_device_type", "d3d11va", 0);
int result = ::av_hwdevice_ctx_create(&ctx, AV_HWDEVICE_TYPE_QSV, "auto",
dict, 0);
}}}
I'll post the patch I have. It's just a quick and dirty fix of moving the
else version of the functions out of the ifdefs and calling it from the
else clause and in case of failure when creating from a loader. I don't
bother cleaning up the loader and just let it get attached to the
QSVSession as if it was successfully used.
