OBS 29 just dropped, the new version isn't on Flathub yet. When I tried the beta, hardware encoding was dead because the KDE runtime hasn't been rebuilt does anyone know if that has been dealt with or we're just shipping a useless version of #OBS #Linux

Speaking of really good FOSS software, I've been searching for a ShareX-like that works on Wayland, but everything for Linux seems to be abandoned. Would you happen to know of anything good?

Looking around it seems it's working for people at least according 1 post on the forum https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/vaapi-broken-in-obs-flatpak-and-now-completely-gone-in-obs-29-0-0.163103/#post-598437

VAAPI broken in OBS/Flatpak and now completely gone in OBS 29.0.0

I had problems with using VAAPI for GPU encoding since an update of the flatpakruntime. It worked well on my System with my Radeon RX 6700 XT beforehand. Now after upgrading to 29.0.0. The FFMPEG...

In just got the flatpak update for 29 earlier (or at least that's what it said in the Pop!_shop) I'll see if it works when I get home in a bit

Yeah I don't even have a VAAPI option at all, even in the advanced view. Only option is software encoding on OBS 29 flatpak

@rogueren Make sure you've done this "flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default//22.08-extra" the patent support has been split out into a seperate mesa package. I've not tested this but it is mentioned on the forums

@rogueren I'm confused with what's happening, I've seen a few people say it's working, others saying it's not.

maybe its different depending on your DE? Ik a big problem was something related to kwin so maybe if you're on like Gnome instead it'll be ok?

@rogueren No I see why it's broken, the forum post I saw was an Intel user

talked with OBS people in the discord, this should be fixed when kde runtime is rebuilt with an updated libbluetooth which should be soon (no exact timeframe though)

@rogueren

This Flatpak is installed automatically while updating 22.08 (non-extra), only masking it prevent its installation.

The split was apparently meant to be seamless. We can all guess that is not the case.

@tytan652 @rogueren That explains why it was already installed for me, doesn't hurt to be sure it's installed.

Sorry that forum post that I thought showed it was working was from an Intel user, all reports right now indicate that the problem still persists for AMD users https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/vaapi-broken-in-obs-flatpak-and-now-completely-gone-in-obs-29-0-0.163103/

It's like that since 29 beta. And it's not fun for me.

1. Freedesktop decided to split patented codecs which breaks VAAPI until a rebuild of (KDE, GNOME…) runtimes are done
2. KDE Runtime can't be rebuilt because libbluetooth is not found to build Qt
3. So we wait for Freedesktop to release their runtime with the libbluetooth fix

"Flatpak is the future" except if upstream runtime are doing breaking changes on already existing runtimes.
