QSV_h265 doesn't show up on the handbrake GUI

[desibandhu]

Problem Description

I followed the Flathub installation method from the handbrake homepage on my Fedora 36 (x64) workstation.
I then followed up by installing the media addon for enabling intel QSV

My hardware is Intel i3-12100.

On this same machine, I have also installed Windows on dual-boot and under that I can see qsv_h265 under video settings and it works as expected too, but fedora fails to replicate the same.

Since this is a Flatpak installation, I don't know what else could I potentially do to ensure it detects Intel QSV and just works.

Activity Log, Crash Log or any other details

What Graphics driver do you have installed for the onboard GPU?

[desibandhu]

What Graphics driver do you have installed for the onboard GPU?

The default one that comes installed on Fedora workstation 36 distribution. I didn't install anything explicitly.

[sr55]

Just did a quick Fedora 36 install and it works out the box on an 11th gen Intel CPU.

I'm afraid I have no idea why it doesn't work for you. The fact it shows up and works on windows rules out the usual suspects.

I can only guess there is something messed up with the Intel Drivers here that's causing it to report it's not available.
