Overload on 0.4 not on 0.3.1/0.2 about obs-vaapi HOT 5 CLOSED

0.4.0 uses vaapipostproc instead of vaposptroc, as they should not be mixed.

try va plugins instead og vaapi. vaapi is basically dead und superseeded by va.

actually 0.3.1 should only list encoders when you have vapostproc. however, the va plugins are not listed in the log.. which puzzles me a bit..

Your English is fine. obs-gstreamer and obs-vaapi can co-exists. But I discourage from using obs-gstreamer for encoding, it has a couple of issues.

Within GStreamer there are two different sets of vaapi encoder plugins. obs-vaapi should offer both types - legacy and the new ones. Legacy are in package vaapi and newer ones are in package va. Not sure how your linux distributions packages these.

Withing the OBS log you should see these:

info: [obs-vaapi] version: 0.4.0-3-g350b3de, gst-runtime: 1.22.6
info: [obs-vaapi] found vah265enc
info: [obs-vaapi] found vah264enc
info: [obs-vaapi] found vaapih264enc
info: [obs-vaapi] found vaapih265enc

va... means new
vaapi... means the old one (you are using)

There have been reports of some performance issues with the new ones as well. But I think it is important to test and report these upstream to GStreamer as the old ones will go away at some point.

But indeed I noticed that you will need GStreamer 1.22 for the new ones..

did you mean, do not mix obs-gstreamer.so AND obs-vaapi.so in 1 installation?
/.config/obs-studio/plugins/obs-vaapi/bin/64bit/obs-vaapi.so
/.config/obs-studio/plugins/obs-gstreamer/bin/64bit/obs-gstreamer.so
ok, i will test each plugin alone, no problem :o)

which va plugins do you mean? its not a flatpak-obs, its LinuxMint 21.2 with OBS-PPA 29.1.3 and OBS-GitHub-beta

ahh yes, Mint 21.2 has gstreamer 1.20.3 thats why i using the "legacy"

hope i can compile 1.22.x https://github.com/GStreamer/gstreamer myself without breaking anything :D

May be a tough one. As long as you found a way to make it work for you it is fine :)

Just keep an eye on the new ones when you have them available.

I will close this one as it is probably an issue with the legacy postproc and the older versions get away it as they use the new one - although it is not correct to use it.
