21pages ce54e33c71 fix(ffmpeg): handle QSV encoder stalls and undersized buffers (#16303)
* fix(ffmpeg): bound QSV encoder retries

Limit QSV frame submission to 100 retries and synchronization to 10
retries so persistent SDK warnings return an error to the caller. Retain
queued buffers when synchronization reaches its retry limit, and allow
later calls to retry without latching an error.

Wait 1 ms between retryable submission warnings on Windows: the original
av_usleep(500) becomes Sleep(0), exhausting the retry budget before even
a brief device-busy interval can end. Preserve non-Windows wait behavior
and the existing negative SDK result handling.

Validated against FFmpeg 7.1.1 on Intel UHD 730 with 42 fault/control
cases, synchronization-timeout recovery and close cleanup, real H.264
and HEVC encoding, and separate QSV hardware decoding. Four concurrent
1080p encoders completed 2400 frames without errors.

* fix(ffmpeg): handle undersized QSV HEVC buffers

Reserve at least three bytes per aligned pixel for HEVC output, following
Intel's documented workaround for underestimated bitstream capacity. Check
the size before assigning it to AVPacket's integer capacity.

Report negative synchronization results before reading output metadata or
draining the FIFO, keeping failed tasks owned until encoder close.

On Intel UHD 730, the existing code fails at input 242 with real desktop
captures; the patched code encodes and decodes all 1,200 inputs. Inputs and
PTS match, and the first 241 encoded frames are byte-identical. H.264 also
passes 300 frames, and restoring the small buffer verifies error handling.

* fix(ffmpeg): refresh QSV HEVC capacity after reset and shorten sync waits

* fix(ffmpeg): apply QSV buffer sizing to H.264

* fix: backport FFmpeg hybrid MP4 finalization fix

Backport FFmpeg commit 36896af64a9ecf6835758186e7161a2e954c364d so hybrid MP4 finalization writes the final moov before hiding the original fragmented index. Preserve recoverable fragments when the final index cannot be written.

Dependencies

Desktop versions use Flutter or Sciter (deprecated) for GUI. This tutorial is for Sciter only, since it is easier and more friendly to start. Check out our CI for building the Flutter version.

Please download Sciter dynamic library yourself.

Raw Steps to build

  • Prepare your Rust development env and C++ build env

  • Install vcpkg, and set VCPKG_ROOT env variable correctly

    • Windows: vcpkg install libvpx:x64-windows-static libyuv:x64-windows-static opus:x64-windows-static aom:x64-windows-static
    • Linux/macOS: vcpkg install libvpx libyuv opus aom
  • run cargo run

Install vcpkg

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
cd vcpkg
git checkout 2023.04.15
cd ..
vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
export VCPKG_ROOT=$HOME/vcpkg

Build

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk
cd rustdesk
mkdir -p target/debug
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/c-smile/sciter-sdk/master/bin.lnx/x64/libsciter-gtk.so
mv libsciter-gtk.so target/debug

How to build with Docker

Begin by cloning the repository and building the Docker container:

git clone https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk
cd rustdesk
git submodule update --init --recursive
docker build -t "rustdesk-builder" .

Then, each time you need to build the application, run the following command:

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/home/user/rustdesk -v rustdesk-git-cache:/home/user/.cargo/git -v rustdesk-registry-cache:/home/user/.cargo/registry -e PUID="$(id -u)" -e PGID="$(id -g)" rustdesk-builder

Note that the first build may take longer before dependencies are cached, subsequent builds will be faster. Additionally, if you need to specify different arguments to the build command, you may do so at the end of the command in the <OPTIONAL-ARGS> position. For instance, if you wanted to build an optimized release version, you would run the command above followed by --release. The resulting executable will be available in the target folder on your system, and can be run with:

target/debug/rustdesk

Or, if you're running a release executable:

target/release/rustdesk

Please ensure that you run these commands from the root of the RustDesk repository, or the application may not find the required resources. Also note that other cargo subcommands such as install or run are not currently supported via this method as they would install or run the program inside the container instead of the host.
