IF PROBLEM HAPPEN

this package is our try to put amdgpu in ARCH, but this could break or have problems as amd update and change their packages for ubuntu

if anything happens you can always download a older tag in https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu-pro/releases and get the PKGBUILD there, and use makepkg with that build while we update or try to fix :)

ALWAYS USE LINUX-FIRMWARE-GIT IF LATEST DRIVER FAIL BEFORE ISSUE SOME ERROR

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-firmware-git

PKGBUILD generator is located here: https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu-pro

AMDGPU PRO wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMDGPU_PRO

New versions will appear here: https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu/.

Had some real trouble getting ffmpeg encoding working as you can't directly install amdgpu-pro-installer, as it does not show directly on AUR search, meaning AUR helpers miss it. It turned out lib32-vulkan-amdgpu-pro had never been pulled. Would it be possible for the deps to please be pulled directly by this package, especially as the wiki page says to install this package alone for ffmpeg encoding. Without the lib32 package, I had multiple errors and couldn't encode anything.

I am not updating only because I hoped this package could not be needed if https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/6256 is solved. Regarding the error, can you try again, and if problem persist, open an issue in the repo?

I wanted to PR and update this package ,but i got this problem: Aptly Failed! It skips the process of entering a password

I just enter the command, then I get this

Loading packages...

gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir '/root/.gnupg'

I really didn't press double enter!

If you don't need professional features of the AMD proprietary driver then just install vulkan-radeon package (its the RADV open source vulkan driver for the open source amdgpu driver included in the kernel).

I don't have the AMDGPU PRO proprietary driver i have mesa can i use the vulkan driver without problems?

I don't know what other update fixed it but today i reinstalled this amdgpu-pro V21.50.2 Vulkan, AMF & libgl and its working. At least my test encode does not crash.

If i go further and try to mix vulkan hardware decoding + vulkan filter with amf encoding it crashes :

So for now, only very basic AMF encoding woks, as long as frames comes from some software path or vaapi hardware accel (opencl filters combinaison works too, sad there are no opencl scale filters in ffmpeg).

I am getting [h264_amf @ 0x55e1ae1016c0] DLL libamfrt64.so.1 failed to open instead of yours [h264_amf @ 0x55fe454cfec0] AMF initialisation succeeded via Vulkan.. I tested that with RX580. Did they drop support for it in amf?

(Removed vulkan-amdgpu-pro and amf-amdgpu-pro V21.30 and reinstalled the same package in V21.50.2) With V21.50.2 i obtain :

If you want AMF debugging to stderr you can pass : -log_to_dbg true (just after the -c:v h264_amf)

Can you write the specific command with which you test? Can you try it in ubuntu and say if it works? Maybe there is a problem with libamdenc64.so.1.0 library, included with this version. Maybe with dependencies. Are you sure that opencl is required for that? Also note that opencl-amd currently uses 21.50, while this pkgbase is for 21.50.2.
