Thank you for the news. 🥰

OBS is an absolute powerhouse, an amazing example of what OSS can do

And so user friendly, too!

Nice to have a good UI that doesn’t encourage me to type in a bunch of bullshit.

yukijoou@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 12 Nov 2023 12:07 next collapse

huh… couldn’t you already get those through gstreamer or vaapi?

zurohki@aussie.zone on 12 Nov 2023 12:21 next collapse

Those can do the heavy lifting, but OBS still has to ask them to do it.

yukijoou@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 12 Nov 2023 13:06 collapse

yeah, but i mean, i already had the option to use those in OBS!

interceder270@lemmy.world on 12 Nov 2023 12:49 collapse

Are you saying something else users will have to learn and configure themselves to get working?

yukijoou@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 12 Nov 2023 13:06 collapse

no, it was available as an option in OBS already…

flx@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 12 Nov 2023 14:51 collapse

on intel cards?

dopeshark@lemmy.world on 12 Nov 2023 12:07 next collapse

OBS rocks!

tyftler@feddit.de on 12 Nov 2023 12:44 next collapse

Didn’t HEVC work by default for Years now?

kugmo@sh.itjust.works on 12 Nov 2023 16:52 collapse

Last time I tried it, HEVC was not on the mainline Linux builds, you had to build it from source with it enabled or use a plugin for it.

Can you use the AMF encoder on Radeon cards with this?

Kata1yst@kbin.social on 12 Nov 2023 17:21 collapse

Yes. https://github.com/obsproject/obs-amd-encoder

Or on Linux (sorry for Reddit link...) https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/qwqxwd/how_to_enable_amd_amf_encoding_in_obs/

cybersandwich@lemmy.world on 12 Nov 2023 17:23 collapse

I should have said with the mesa drivers. :(

Sentau@feddit.de on 12 Nov 2023 17:41 next collapse

While I don’t know how, I do know that there is a way to have mesa for most things while having AMF encoder for encoding. Nobara has this set up out of the box so there is some way. Maybe you could search for it using a search engine

cybersandwich@lemmy.world on 12 Nov 2023 17:52 collapse

Does it really? I know when I looked into it a bit ago the main dev for nobara had a video about how to install it and use it but it didn’t let you split that out. You could quickly change back and forth between mesa and amdgpu but if you tried to run amf with mesa it would hard lock and crash

Sentau@feddit.de on 12 Nov 2023 17:56 collapse

It has been some time since I tried out Nobara so I might be wrong. I just remember that Nobara page lists having amf encoder support out of the box as a feature

Kata1yst@kbin.social on 12 Nov 2023 23:05 collapse

Ah! Then like me you can use VKCapture. https://github.com/nowrep/obs-vkcapture.

It's not quite as fast as hardware accelerated, but it's as good as you can otherwise get.
