This release of open source Intel® Media SDK features MSS 2017 R3 and CentOS 7.3 support. Release highlights available at Intel® Developer Zone article.
The current version of Intel Media SDK is only compatible with the Linux* Graphics Driver from Intel® Media Server Studio for Linux*. You need to download and install Intel Media Server Studio 2017 R3 before you build Intel Media SDK.
Intel Media SDK depends on a special version of LibVA which comes with Intel Media Server Studio installation and is not in upstream, so this version is not compatible with the LibVA/driver available at 01.org.
Noticeable changes:
SW fallback is unsupported for all components.
Rotation not supported.
VPP Advanced deinterlacing mode with scene change detection (MFX_DEINTERLACING_ADVANCED_SCD) is not supported.
