Thanks for the reply Harold, but if you followed the link, the latest for my laptop+video card is 17.10. For whatever reason, if 18.x is out for others, it's not available for my configuration.
What's wrong with with 17.10? HW encoding was working fine in OBS 20.1.3. What's in 18.x that isn't in 17.10? Why does OBS require the bleeding edge drivers? Does HW encoding change that much from release to release?
Thanks,

@Xaymar blacklisted the older AMD drivers but it screws some people over who legitimately no driver updates . There's no Adrenline drivers for Windows 8.1 so no one can use AMF in 8.1 and Pro GPUs aren't on the same update cycle as RX, completely different drivers.
You can try checking if he added support in a newer version of the plugin, the latest can be found on GitHub.

Ah! The plugin included with OBS 21.0.1 was blocking older driver versions, but version 2.3.2 of the plugin removed the block. It will load older versions, and then just log. So the solution is to manually install version 2.3.2 of the AMF encoder plugin on top of OBS 21.0.1. I tried that out and it works for me. Thanks a lot!

will the AMD Encoders work for a HD 6900M Seris?
