[RESOLVED] Geforce 940M not working
i got myself dgdecnv 2051 and it does not work on my notebook with my geforce 940m. i also tried it on my desktop with a Geforce GT 520. On my desktop there's no problem with it.
i also got some information about my notebook system:
i've got 2 graphic card:
GeForce 940M and Intel HD Graphics 5500. i guess this could be the problem.
here are 2 screenshots of the "List GPU Devices"
Desktop
Notebook
i hope it's enough information to see if there's a way to solve this problem or maybe it can't be solved at all?!?

Re: Geforce 940M not working
You told me "it does not work" and that is all. Can you give me some more information, please? Error messages? Crash?
That's weird to see the strange string for the device ID. I'll look into that.

Re: Geforce 940M not working
okay, sorry! error message on dgindexnv is "GPU decoder: Failed to create video decoder [100]. Exiting..." if there is any crash or log file tell me and i will add this as well.
Re: Geforce 940M not working
Some possibilities:
The nVidia driver version is too old. Try to install the latest one.
Disable the Intel graphics in the BIOS.
What kind of file is it? What video format?

Re: Geforce 940M not working
nvidia driver should be the latest one. my nvidia geforce experience program tells me so.
i disabled the intel graphics on the device manager. that did not work, but i'll try to do this in the BIOS. i will edit this post when it's done.
thanks so far

Re: Geforce 940M not working
Disabling in the BIOS probably won't change anything.
Another thing to do is check whether some other CUVID-enabled apps work or not.
Also, you can try setting D3D mode and then set all the decode modes to DXVA (both done in the INI file).

Re: Geforce 940M not working
i changed some things and nothing worked! (open with graphic processor, set nvidia geforce as standard, disabling the onboard intel hd graphics via device manager) i got a new driver from the nvidia homepage. don't know if that's the reason that dgindexnv doesn't crash anymore. it starts but without a video stream. just a black window but sound works. i can create a *.dgi file but as i said without video. i have to say that my system crashed 3 times since i installed the latest drivers.
btw: i can't find any graphic settings in BIOS/UEFI. there are just some infos and settings about rooting. it took me about the whole evening and i'm still on the same level. i don't know what else i could do.

Re: Geforce 940M not working
I asked what file you have but you didn't answer. If it is a transport stream, you may have the PID wrong. What is the type of your file and what video format does it have?
Re: Geforce 940M not working
it's a transport stream with h264 content.
but the pid should not be the problem. everything that does not work on my notebook does work on my desktop. the transport stream is trimmed with videoredo tv suite.

Re: Geforce 940M not working
Did you try setting D3D mode and then set all the decode modes to DXVA (both done in the INI file), as I suggested?
Did you try other CUVID-enabled applications, as I suggested?
Also, please clarify...do you see the black screen in DGIndexNV or only when serving your script. If the latter, what is your script?

Re: Geforce 940M not working
sorry, there was no time on christmas days. i'll try now. but i can'T find a way to change the direct3d settings. what *.ini-file does you mean?
i found out that my geforce and the intel graphics seem to use the same gpu. i guess this could be the fact why it won't work?!?

Re: Geforce 940M not working
There is a file called DGIndexNV.ini in the same directory as DGIndexNV.exe.
Edit that file so that these lines read as follows:
UseD3D=1
...
Decode_Modes=2,2,2,2
Then start DGIndexNV.exe and see what happens.
"i found out that my geforce and the intel graphics seem to use the same gpu"
No, it is not true.

this happens:

Re: Geforce 940M not working
I guess you're out of luck on that platform then.
Thank you for bearing with my troubleshooting attempts.

Re: Geforce 940M not working
oops! so i will have to use my 6 years old desktop to use it!
my nvidia system information!
maybe there is another way to make it work?!?
thanks for your help anyway!

Re: Geforce 940M not working
is there a way to tell dgindex which device it should use? my device id seemed to be a bit strange. "10DE:" and then some hieroglyphics. i looked into the device manager and it should be 1347 if i'm right?!?
and the other thing that is strange: when i disable my intel graphics via device manager the display does not change to my nvidia but to the "Microsoft Basic Display Driver"

Re: Geforce 940M not working
It seems that the nVidia driver is not even being used! That would explain everything, but it is outside my tools. I recommend that you start looking into that. Also check with nVidia forums, etc.
Re: Geforce 940M not working
Marking resolved as this does not appear to be a DGDecNV issue and the original poster has disappeared.
