Hi. I'm trying to configure OBS to use hardware encoding with no success.
Before I continue, I must make it clear that:
- I am not an experienced Linux user :(
- My knowledge on graphics cards are also not very good :(
So any help is highly appreciated.
My understanding is that if I had hardware support I'd see
VAAPI H.264,
VAAPI HEVC, and
VAAPI AV1 (or something like that) as encoder options, which I don't see.
Based on the (attached) OBS logs it seems I am missing some configuration as I can see the following message:
12:07:11.839: VAAPI: Failed to initialize display in vaapi_device_h264_supported
but it seems VAAPI is setup on my machine. `vainfo` output:

Any idea on how to investigate / fix this ?
