Hey #Linux people, I'm hoping someone might be able to help with an issue I have. I just recently changed my gpu from Nvidia to AMD, and I don't see the AMF gpu encoder option in #OBS. All my software is updated, and I'm using the official OBS build. Is there something extra that I have to install? The gpu is an RX 9070 XT, and distro is elementaryOS.

@TheHDL glancing at dependency list for arch https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/obs-studio/ I'd guess mesa va covers that without digging into obs more. so make sure you got all mesa packages installed for that
Arch Linux - obs-studio 32.0.2-2 (x86_64)

@brettowe I have the VAAPI encoder available which is also for hardware encoding, but the quality is poor compared to NVENC. I wanted to try AMF but I guess it's unavailable unless I install proprietary drivers?
@TheHDL https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF/wiki/Driver%20Linux looks like you have to install a binary for the amf but can prob use the opensource side for everything else still
Driver Linux

The Advanced Media Framework (AMF) SDK provides developers with optimal access to AMD devices for multimedia processing - GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF

@brettowe Tried installing that but it didn't work. However, turns out AMD is abandoning AMF and proprietary drivers in favor of Mesa and VA-API anyway, so I'll probably just stick to that and wait for future updates. Thanks. 🙂
