Only Software encoder is available - not sure what I'm missing?

[zaggynl]

I think I'm missing a plugin or specific ffmpeg functionality, could anyone point me in the right direction?

Screenshot of available encoder options in obs-studio:

obs-studio 25.0.8-3.3 and ffmpeg 4.3.1-6.5 installed from packman repository.

On launch of obs from terminal it shows:
info: FFMPEG VAAPI supported

ffmpeg -encoders | grep vaapi:
V..... h264_vaapi H.264/AVC (VAAPI) (codec h264)
V..... hevc_vaapi H.265/HEVC (VAAPI) (codec hevc)
V..... mjpeg_vaapi MJPEG (VAAPI) (codec mjpeg)
V..... mpeg2_vaapi MPEG-2 (VAAPI) (codec mpeg2video)
V..... vp8_vaapi VP8 (VAAPI) (codec vp8)
V..... vp9_vaapi VP9 (VAAPI) (codec vp9)

derp, forgot to set Output Mode to Advanced:

Guess that solves it, auto-configuration still suggests Software encoding?
