Re: FFmpeg VAAPI H264 /HEVC encoding not supported

From: Mario Marietto <marietto2008_at_gmail.com>
Date: Sun, 07 Jan 2024 00:45:44 UTC
if VAAPI should be enabled should be defined when I compile OBS ? because
vaapi is enabled in ffmpeg but not in OBS and not in mpv :

nano /home/marietto/.config/mpv/mpv.conf

vo=gpu
hwdec=vaapi


nano /root/.config/mpv/mpv.conf

vo=gpu
hwdec=vaapi

# mpv ciao.mp4

(+) Video --vid=1 (*) (h264 640x480 25.000fps)
(+) Audio --aid=1 (*) (aac 2ch 24000Hz)
Title: ciao.mp4
AO: [oss] 24000Hz stereo 2ch s32
VO: [gpu] 640x480 => 640x511 yuv420p
Exiting... (Quit)


# ffmpeg -codecs | grep vaapi
