Error: cannot create compression session

[GLF-MUC-WDY]

VIDEOTOOLBOX not working on Skull Canyon Hackintosh with IrisPro580 ??

If I select VideoToolBox (either H.264 or H.265) Handbrake runs into Errors.
I am on a Hackintosh Intel NUC6i7KYK (Intel® Core™ i7-6770HQ with IrisPro580).
I assume it is Hardware related as on my NUC6i5SYH Hackintosh (i5 with IrisPlus) VideoToolBox works fine (H.264 & H.265).
Can anyone with a Skull Canyon Hackintosh confirm / refute this issue?

Best regards form Munich

Initializing the VT H.264 encoder with hardware acceleration fails for some reason. Not sure what the error code means, maybe Ritsuka would know, he spent a lot more time than me working with this API.

You failed to include the entire log so I can't say for sure but in all likely hood, you're using settings that are invalid or beyond the capability of the hardware.
