Would it be possible to add CQP?

CQP shows as an option, but doesn't actually work. Would it be possible to add a working CQP option with the ability to set QP values?

What encoder, what does mean "doesn't work"? The options should all be exposed in the properties. If it doesn't work it is most likely an upstream issue, or the GPU/driver does not support it.

GStreamer VA-API H265 and H264. If I select "Constant QP" as my rate control in the encoder settings in OBS, I do not get an option to set a QP value, just the bitrate, and when I record, it just records at constant bitrate.

GPU: RX 6700 XT
Driver: Mesa 23.1.0-devel (git-cb7403b909)

These I guess?

for the new one (Gstreamer 1.22)

for the legacy one

Yes, but those do not show up for me. This is what I see:

That is the encoder from the GStreamer plugin. That one is a different plugin.

But you can add any option in the big Extra encoder option manually. It it just not convenient and you have to know the options. In general I recommend to use this plugin anyway.

Well this is embarrassing. I thought I had both installed, but it appears that OBS did not recognise this one. Installing the obs-vaapi-git Arch AUR package made OBS recognise the plugin.

I'll close this one.
