Hey everyone,
I'm trying to use the Intel QuickSync encoder (QSV) in OBS, but I'm encountering an issue where it fails to initialize. I'm running OBS on CachyOS with a Hyprland Wayland session.
Here's my setup and the relevant logs:
System Information (from fastfetch):
  • OS: CachyOS x86_64
  • Kernel: Linux 6.15.0-2-cachyos
  • Desktop Environment: Hyprland 0.49.0 (Wayland)
  • CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12450HX
  • GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Laptop
  • GPU 2: Intel UHD Graphics @ 1.30 GHz [Integrated]
