I just switched from Windows to Linux and find the qsv encoder missing in obs. After some searching I still don't have a clue on how to fix it. Can someone give me some ideas so I can get it working please? Thanks for any help.
Screenshot of OBS encoder settings:
My hardware setting is Acer Spin 5 with an Intel i5-1035G4 CPU. OS is Manjaro 22.0.0, kernel 5.19.17-1.
Software side, I have the following packages installed by pacman:
vainfo:
OBS is installed by AUR: obs-studio-tytan652.
I have checked ffmpeg it seems have qsv encoders.
And finally, here's my OBS logs. I can see "FFMPEG VAAPI supported" in the logs.
