Tweaked a vaapi plugin patch by user w23 on the forums so that I can stream using amd vce via VAAPI on my linux machine.

This is useful for those on intel or amd gpus that support quicksync or VCE and want to use the gpu to render their stream.

You can also stream and record simultaneously using vaapi for both.

Patch:
https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/arch-obs-studio-latest-ffmpeg-vaapi/blob/master/ffmpeg-vaapi.patch

OBS Fork:
https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/obs-studio/

Credits to w23 on OBS forums for the original patch that got everything working. All I did was clean it up and add ffmpeg options.

Can you be more specific on how you did what you did? I try to make a screen capture by entering ffmpeg -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -f x11grab -video_size 1920x1080 -i :0 -bf 0 -vf 'hwupload,scale_vaapi=format=nv12' -c:v h264_vaapi -qp 24 test.mp4 Which returns only a black screen without audio.... (I have an AMD FX CPU and a RX 580 8GB)

Awesome work! It worked on Ubuntu 18.04 after installing new mesa stuff with sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/updates sudo dist-upgrade (I had already installed all the other obs build deps before that but it was failing)

Can you make the step you used to compile with the patch?

[ 2018-06-15 12:06:28Z ] 👍 1

I compiled latest master with patch applied manually (no conflicts)

Compiled the fork from gitlab, however I am not seeing the extended options. Running Kubuntu 18.04 with kernel 4.18.11. Running Radeon Fury X and Firepro w8100. Using Mesa 18.1.5. Is there something i missed installing?

I don't see the options as you showed but I guess it is working since my CPU recording at 7%? But I just can't select which GPU to use.

fork is old dont use it. my vaapi support has been merged into obs already as of sept 25th, using latest obs git should be fine. its under the output section, you have to change the mode to advanced.

Why is my RX580 incapable to encode 1080p60fps with ffmpeg-vaapi in OBS? It always tells me that it is overload.

@@s9209122222 ya so that was what I was trying to say was that you need to make sure you choose the amd gpu and not the Intel cpu when you using the Vappi encoder. You probably already knew that but I just wanted to make sure you choose the right device.

@@tfyufgu1311 I only have a intel i5-4460 CPU, it is not powerful enough to play games and stream at the same time.

Me too. Maby you and I are choosing the cpu instead of the GPU, make sure you choose the right device. Do you have an Intel cpu or an amd cpu ??? I will need to test this again when I have time.

I'm getting the same, have you found a fix yet?

Compiling according to https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/Install-Instructions#debian-based-build-directions killed my Lubuntu install. I'm getting not found/invalid desktop entry errors everywhere. sudo command = /usr/bin/sudo permission denied and I can't access anything.
