[BUG] AMD GPU fails to detect H264/HEVC

[VelamyGH]

Describe the bug Flatpak version of the GTK version gives the error (screenshot) while the package it is asking me for is already installed on my system.

To Reproduce Open latest GUI version installed from flathub with the correct packages installed

Expected behavior Application opens without the encoder missing error

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• X11 or Wayland: X11
  • Desktop environment/Window Manager: KDE 6
• Distro: Arch
• GPU: AMD RX6500 XT
• Version: (latest flatpak version, aur or source) flatpak gui/gtk

Additional context I know for a fact that they work because OBS can open for me just fine. Would prefer to use this though as it looks very promising and easy to use compared to the built in replay option in OBS. Thanks in advance :)

• [ ] I played the video with the command mpv --no-config video.mp4 (if applicable)
• [ ] I use a laptop with an integrated GPU and a dedicated GPU

Run gpu screen recorder from the terminal and post the terminal output: flatpak run --command=gpu-screen-recorder com.dec05eba.gpu_screen_recorder -w screen -f 60 -o video.mp4

Also run ls -lah /dev/dri/by-path and post the output and also the output of vainfo (part of libva-utils package).

Or actually, according to amd website your gpu doesn't support hardware accelerated video encoding, it only supports decoding: https://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/amd-radeon-rx-6500-xt so when you are using obs you aren't using your gpu to encode.

Supported Rendering Format
4K H264 Decode
Yes

4K H264 Encode
No

H265/HEVC Decode
Yes

H265/HEVC Encode
No

AV1 Decode
No

so the error is correct
