Hi,
having problems to get the nvenc proxy feature ready:
server xenial 16.04 client xenial 16.04 xpra version: xpra proxy version 2.0.1-r15494 64-bit
i start the Proxy Server with:
xpra proxy :100 --bind-ssl=0.0.0.0:443 --auth=multifile:filename=./xpra-auth --ssl=on --ssl-cert=/home/${USERNAME}/gpunode.crt --ssl-key=/home/${USERNAME}/gpunode.key --no-daemon -d encoding
and i will get no nvenc accl.

maybe any hint?
greets
Have you configured your proxy?
Please post the contents of /etc/xpra/conf.d/65_proxy.conf
.
To use nvenc on the proxy, you should have:
proxy-video-encoders = nvenc7
This should fix the:
video_init() will try video encoders: none
Hi, thanx for the info. Are there some Info on the xpra wiki sites on setting the proxy up with encoding?
nvenc7 does not work, i tried nvenc and that looks a little bit better:
proxy-video-encoders = nvenc

i cannot see any encoding python compute process via nvidia-smi
Im using a gtx 980 ti.

r15521 changes the config example to "nvenc". "nvenc" is the name of the encoder, "nvenc7" is the name of the module. (we used to have more than one module for nvenc)
proxy compression using nvenc(BGRX/NV12/H264 - bd - 1732x1028) with quality=99, speed=63
Congratulations, you are using nvenc.
and after idlying a few secs/mins, nvenc encoding is gone:
That's perfectly normal. Hardware encoders are in limited supply, especially if you are using a consumer card (GTX series) without a license key, so the system will only use a hardware encoder when it is really needed.
Can I close this ticket?
Not heard back, closing.
