I'm kind of new to Linux so this could be a very easy fix but I am trying to start streaming on Arch Linux. However, the only encoder available on the Streaming tab for output on settings is x264 (as far as I'm aware this is a software encoder, and would not be using my GPU). AOM AV1 and SVT-AV1 are both available as encoders for recording, just not streaming. I am using Arch Linux with an AMD RX 6800 GPU. This is the output when I start OBS via terminal.
