Some QuickSync encoder settings not available

[tphakala]

Hello, a OBS noob here.

I am running a wildlife stream over low speed 4G connection and I wish to optimize encoding settings as best as possible, in my usecase latency is not an issue. My encoder system is a Intel NUC with 11th gen Intel CPU which has good support for QuickSync options as I understand. I have understood that lookahead type encoders might be best for my usecase, and for those there is lookahead depth (la_depth) parameter in QuickSync SDK which could improve encoding if increased, however I don't know how to set la_depth parameter as there is no such setting in streaming encoder settings.

Help me out, how can I set QuickSync la_depth parameter to max 100 value?

Please review and follow recommendations on the analizer, which you should be using:

Analyzer output is here, https://obsproject.com/tools/analyzer?log_url=https://obsproject.com/logs/zdOkK3I4Hjx57lSa

However "critical" finding of analyzer is wrong, my system is Intel NUC and it does not have a dedicated GPU. And what comes to clean driver install this whole system is a clean install, Windows was installed solely for this purpose few weeks ago.

la_depth - only in LA, this rate control is inaccessible in OBS, only CBR, VBR, AVBR or QCP.
I think, close is AVBR.
