[ref]Najr4d[/ref], no idea what happens, nothing in dsdt about it

[Najr4d]

can i use this DSDT on iMacPro 2017 identification with iGPU disabled? Do you still need XHCI-unsupported.kext and EFICheckDisabler.kext in Catalina?

[ref]Najr4d[/ref], same config for all system

[rajkhand]

my system is GA 370N wifi motherboard, i7-8700K CPU, GA RX-570 4GB, Catalina 10.15.2

with your latest whatevergreen and lilu

What SMBIO?

In Devices/Properties what setting for Platform Id, intelgfx?

Should I check injectIntel? and boot argument Shikivga=60?

At present I am using imacpro1,1, disabled iGPU in BIOS, ShikiVGA=16, latest whatevergreen 1.3.6, lilu 1.4.0 and No entry in Device/Properties

everything works like Safari playing Netflix and Amazon prime, TV+ app playing content, HEVEC H265 working using RX 570 BUT H264 not working though videoproc says both 264/265 enabled at time of encoding h264 it gives error in log file that videotoolbox cannot be initialised also in handbrake if I select h264 Videotoolbox codec will not encode.

Thanks

[ref]rajkhand[/ref], use iMac19,2 smbios with shikigva=128 with no igpu enable

[rajkhand]

With imac19,2 nothing works used you whatevergreen and Lilu and Shikivga=128, iGPU disabled in BIOS

videoproc both NO

Hackintool VDA Decoder Decoder fail

[MaLd0n]

[ref]rajkhand[/ref], try with iMac19,1, work very good

[rajkhand]

In past I tried also with 19,1 with iGpu enabled in BIOS and with headless ig platform id and every thing worked except H264 and Netflix and Amazon Prime playing in Safari. But I have not tried with the latest whatevergreen and lilu.

Why iGpu should be disabled in BIOS?

Can you please give me the values for Device/Properties etc.

Also with imacpro1,1 only H264 is not working any solution to that?

[ref]rajkhand[/ref], if u use intelhd, dont need any device/properties now, just enable and weg kext work on it

Hi there [ref]MaLd0n[/ref]!

First of, thanks for DSDT you sent me earlier. It fixed a good number of stuff.

I am currently testing the hackintosh with OBS and it appears encoding via gpu is not available. Do I need to implement this guide to my hackintosh to achieve this? Will it not distort/break the current working config I got from you?

[MaLd0n]

[ref]wastedbrain[/ref], Use weg kext from first post and add shikigva=128

ur processor don't have igpu, intel quick sync don't work

[wastedbrain]

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref], I cant find your instruction on how to implement that.

All I can think of is

step 1: I open config.plist with clover;

step 2: Copy Whatevergreen to the EFI/clover/kexts/other folder

step 3: ?

[MaLd0n]

[ref]wastedbrain[/ref], add shikigva=128 in bootargs

[wastedbrain]

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref],

I can't find a shikigva entry:

By the way, what is that app you use to check if gpu encoding is enabled? And where to download it? (I found the videoproc app, ran it and shows my gpu encoding is not available)
