What options does shikigva=60 enable ?

According to WEG sources, the value of 60 is not possible:

private:
// Aside generic DRM unlock patches, which are always on, Shiki also provides a set of patches
// to workaround various issues with hardware video acceleration support.
// These are set as a shikigva boot-arg bitmask.
// For example, to enable ForceOnlineRenderer, ExecutableWhitelist, and ReplaceBoardID
// you sum 1 + 8 + 32 = 41 -> and pass shikigva=41.
enum ShikiGVAPatches {
	// Remove forceOfflineRenderer from AppleGVA Info.plist.
	// This is required to allow hardware acceleration on several mac models with discrete GPUs
	// when only IGPU is available.
	// See /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleGVA.framework/Resources/Info.plist for more details.
	ForceOnlineRenderer        = 1,
	// Remve hweBGRA from AppleGVA Info.plist.
	// hweBGRA is not supported by NVIDIA GPUs, so the patch is sometimes required when using NVIDIA
	// in a mac model meant to be used with AMD or Intel.
	// See /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleGVA.framework/Resources/Info.plist for more details.
	AllowNonBGRA               = 2,
	// Prior to 10.13.4 certain GPU+CPU combinations were not meant to provide hardware acceleration and had to be patched.
	// The overall problematic configuration list is: NVIDIA+BDW, NVIDIA+SKL, NVIDIA+KBL, AMD+IVB, NVIDIA+SNB.
	// Enabled automatically if shikigva is *NOT* passed on 10.13.3 and earlier. All are fixed in 10.13.4.
	ForceCompatibleRenderer    = 4,
	// Unlike 10.12.6 without security updates and earlier, on 10.13 and latest 10.12.6 AppleGVA patches
	// do not apply to all processes, and each process needs to be patched explicitly. This is a bug
	// in Lilu, which needs to be explored and fixed. For now this bit ensures that the processes present
	// in WHITELIST section of Patches.plist will definitely get the fixes even on 10.13 and 10.12.6.
	// On 10.12.6 and 10.13 this must be used if any of the following bits are used:
	// - ForceOnlineRenderer
	// - AllowNonBGRA
	// - ForceCompatibleRenderer
	// - ReplaceBoardID
	// - FixSandyBridgeClassName
	// It is enabled automatically on 10.12 and 10.13 if shikigva is *NOT* passed and ForceCompatibleRenderer or
	// FixSandyBridgeClassName are automatically enabled.
	AddExecutableWhitelist     = 8,
	DisabledUnused16           = 16,
	// Replace board-id used by AppleGVA by a different board-id.
	// Sometimes it is feasible to use different GPU acceleration settings from the main mac model.
	// By default Mac-27ADBB7B4CEE8E61 (iMac14,2) will be used, but you can override this via shiki-id boot-arg.
	// See /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleGVA.framework/Resources/Info.plist for more details.
	ReplaceBoardID             = 32,
	// Attempt to support fps.1_0 (FairPlay 1.0) in Safari.
	// This should technically fix some very old streaming services in Safari, which rely on FairPlay DRM
	// similar to the one found in iTunes. Newer streaming services require FairPlay 2.0, which is hardware-only,
	// so nothing could be done about them.
	// Another way to enable this is to pass -shikifps boot argument.
	UnlockFP10Streaming        = 64,
	DeprecatedUnused128        = 128
};

I appreciate that is works for you.

My question was how did you derive it (calculate the value of 60) ?

HVEC not supported in Haswell

Ok, obrigado pela partilha.

Estou a pensar adquirir uma Vega 56 da Sapphire, ao que li suporta H264 e H265 nativamente.

A minha questão é, que smbios usarei para o meu mac? A indicada para o meu processador é a 15,1, mas para tirar partido da Vega dizem que é o IMacPro 1,1.

Qual deveria usar? No caso de comprar a Vega 56?

[MaLd0n]

[ref]uran0s[/ref], pra Haswell use iMac14,2, deve funcionar com a Vega tb

Aha,,so you got lucky

done.

Mudei a SMBIOS para 14,2, com IGPU enable como explica no 1º post. Assim que meti a VEGA 56 ficou logo a dar HEVC. O único bug que noto é indicar a temperatura de 127graus no istats, mas tanto me indica 127 num lado como 32 no outro. Deixo printscreen.

Dá para corrigir a informação no PCI list?

Thanks for the Info @MaLd0n

but it's not working for me

My Build # 3: GA-Z370XP-SLI | I7-8700K | Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8GB | Mojave 10.14.2

-Kabylake and Coffeelake

Check InjectIntel

shikigva=60

and when I refresh Hardware info in VideoProc system panic and reboots the same issue with the Build # 2

also

My Build # 2: GA-Z97X-UD7 TH | i7-4790K | MSI RX 580 Armor 8GB OC | High Sierra 10.13.6

dodoland, post two dumps here

 

There is the RunMe you requested Thanks so much for helping me

Issue 1: Sleep/Wake issue go to sleep but wakes up in few sec.

issue 2: CPU runs high after wake

Send me Mojave-Z370XP - 10.14.2.zip

issue 1: Sleep/Wake Works but CPU runs High after wake.

Send me Mojave Z77X-iMac - 10.14.2.zip

issue 1: Sleep/Wake issue go to sleep but wakes up in few sec.

all of them has an issue with Hardware encoding/decoding

is that correct that i any of this build do not support HEVC?

all of them have RX 580 (see my signature for the build)

again Thanks for all your help.

Send me HighSierra-Z97X - 10.13.6.zip

With this settings the UHD 630 is not utilized on YouTube Video

With FB-Patcher app settings the UHD 630 is utilized on YouTube

oops! FB-Patcher app properties works too but sometimes stuck on macOS booting

Are you using this config on your haswell build?

[RandomTech]

Are you using this config on your haswell build?

No, that's my old system in my profile sorry for not including my new hardware

Im using this config for 8700K and Vega 64 in Gigabyte Z370N Wifi.

going to edit my profile and include my current systems.
