Radeon RX 4XX/5XX standalone system, AMDRadeonX4250.kext (GVA support H264) does not support HEVC HW

[hunglinh8989]

Hi,
in FCPX (10.4.2) you should open share pane and go down til "add destination". Drag "Compressor settings" under the usual export list. Then you should see an old style window (it's like from a very old version of compressor) where there are the settings of Compressor. Under "Built in-Apple Devices" you should find the HEVC 8 or 10 bit. Add to you list and that's done. (Update: see picture above from Shuhung).

Optional: if you right click a setting you can decide to make it "default" and then assign a keyboard shortcut to export. For ex: I assigned CMD+E. In this way you can have a sort of batch export with FCPX.


Is your RX 580 working full power? What is your opencl score?

Yes, my Rx580 working full power. luxmark is 15k opencl score

Great. So the question is: how did you set-up your system with Rx580?
Are you using igpu, lilu,we or something else?
How is your sleep/wake up?
Thks!

My system is X299, so it native cpu power management, Sleep/wake work perfect on X299 system. see this link https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...c-pro-successful-build-extended-guide.229353/

As I said in the previous post, I updated the system to 10.13.5, then used Kext Utility to install AMDx4000.kext of 10.13.4 to 10.13.5 (that is the 3 files that I attached to the previous post). Please try

Tested with 0x67DF ID but not work, QuickTime screen recording failed, H264 capture still not work.

I do not inject id
Quicktime screen recording is still working normally

FCPX share as H264 will be failed.

I do not understand you at this point but My FCPX share as H264 is working normally
wow, i downloaded compressor 4.4.1 but fcpx shows only HEVC 10bit in apple device, so strange ~~

Because this method broke entire GVA system, result same as use SMBIOS MacPro5,1, no H264 and HEVC GVA support.

Previously not work because boot to wrong OS, it work but without HW video acceleration.

Use attached file to verify GVA support.

Ok I tried to disable Inject ID and now I have full power RX 580 (luxmark says 36 compute unit and 15.000 score) but no H264 export from Compressor or FCPX.

I have still to try to put 10.13.4 kext. So the problem should be 10.13.5?

Tested, use 10.13.4 kexts will broke entire GVA system, if replace with 10.13.3 kexts result is no QE/CI or black screen, 10.13.5 still has IOGVACodec issue, IOGVAEncoder seems to be suspended by Apple or driver is immature, see below png.

Thanks Shuhung for testing and maybe you are right about Apple. hunglinh8989 says he can export fine H264. His build is like an iMacPro who doesn't have iGpu and still is able to export HEVC and H264.
hunglinh8989 can you share your EFI?

I think that the injection ID+Dummy method is the reason I have so low opencl score and stability issues with FCPX but I have to try more without it to be sure.

To be or not to be?

Replace 10.13.4 kexts, H264 export will be handled by CPU, use any SMBIOS not covered by AppleGVA have same result.
