A little #Livestreaming and #Video
(1/x)
I'm upset with #OBS again on #Linux, and on not so upset at the same time.
Well, it's doing wonders on my old #Intel #Xeon studio machine / number crunching beast with old #AMD #Radeon graphics and 3 screens connected.
More precisely, it is encoding #h264 on the GPU at high mbps rates for recording, while at the same time shrinking data into 8mbps #AV1 on the CPU running at approx 33% load across all 16 virtual cores.
However, on none of my #Intel mobile GPU gear, OBS does anything useful at all. It doesn't use Intels h264 GPU encoding, because it supplies wrong arguments to lib_ffmpeg. And it's too slow for decent #libx264 #livestream encoding on the CPU. It breaks down on AV1 and h265 on the CPU.
All of these systems are elderly computers, but it could work, if OBS developers were more interested in Linux. I assume their focus is on Windows gamerzzz.
