The error "Failed to query nvenc max version" occurs when using FFmpeg with NVIDIA GPU acceleration (hevc_nvenc) on Linux.

Does anyone know how to solve this bug? Thank you very much.

The following code is the FFmpeg code I entered, along with the output content.

ffmpeg -ss 10:00 -i /www/wwwroot/pyffmpeg/videos/0/011.mp4 -t 20 -r 30 -b:v 4M -an -vcodec hevc_nvenc -y /www/wwwroot/pyffmpeg/videos/post/999.mp4

I have installed FFmpeg, NVIDIA GPU drivers, and SDK. It works fine without using GPU acceleration, but it throws an error when using GPU acceleration.

Here's my nvidia-smi

  • What does `nvidia-smi` show? Also, what's the make and model of your GPU? Also see this to verify what your GPU supports https://superuser.com/a/1508602/473795 – Dennis Mungai Jul 29 '23 at 15:24
  • @Dennis Mungai I added the output of nvidia-smi to my question.and here are my various software versions Driver Version: 535.54.03; ffmpeg:6.9; nv-codec-headers:12.0.16 Hope to get your answer, thank you very much – Well Chen Jul 29 '23 at 15:59
  • On it. Can you confirm if your GPU above is hosted on NVIDIA's GRID vGPU solution? – Dennis Mungai Jul 29 '23 at 16:11
  • @DennisMungai I am using a cloud server GPU instance,It's designed for video transcoding.I see someone here with a similar problem[link](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/error-failed-to-query-nvenc-max-version/75911) But I can't understand how he solved it. I have the file libnvidia-encode.so – Well Chen Jul 29 '23 at 16:24
  • There exist a later [NVIDIA driver](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/). – harrymc Jul 29 '23 at 18:44
  • Try also [this answer](https://askubuntu.com/a/1328424/963426) or its equivalent for your distribution. – harrymc Jul 29 '23 at 20:44
