Unable to record with QSV encoder - Fedora 39

leod · Nov 28, 2023

Hi,
My system is:

Fedora 39 KDE spin
Wayland session
OBS 30.0.0 from Flathub

When I open Settings -> Output, I can see Quicksync there.

If I select QuickSync, when I click to record, I get an error.

I have 2 GPUs:

Code:

lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-S GT1 [UHD Graphics 770] (rev 04)
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 23 [Radeon RX 6600/6600 XT/6600M] (rev c7)

My 2 monitors are connected to the AMD gpu. The integrated GPU (intel) is also enabled (but no monitor is connected to it).

OBS logs:

Does anyone know what could be happening here?

Thanks!

I suspect its something to do with the Flathub version, I have the same issue in openSUSE Tumbleweed using OBS v30.0.0 from Flathub. However, if I use OBS v29.1.3 from the openSUSE packman repos its works fine.

Yes I think you're right.

QSV encoding seems broken in the Flatpak version

@kurufu from the Discord support channel said the same thing.
