vaapih264enc and change bitrate

[Matteo Valdina]

Hi y'all,

I'm trying to use vaapih264enc and change the bitrate during the encoding.

I see from the source code and test that bitrate property is ignored after the encoding begins.

I would like to know if there is any patch/ongoing work to add this feature in the vaapi encoder?

Is it feasible as per current source code implementation of vaapih264enc.
 

The only way to obtain this behavior is to stop and re-start the vaapih264enc?

Is something that I used on other software and hardware H.264 encoder, so, I expected that it is achievable.

Best

Matteo Valdina

That's correct, right now the bitrate is only set when the encoding starts and
the vaapi engine is stopped end re-configured.

No, there is no any work in progress in that regard right now. You could file a
bug in bugzilla for it. I would be better yet if you could propose a patch.

Thanks,

I will open a bug and try to see what I can provide as a patch.

Thanks
