unofficial vaapi encoding

[polluxau]

would vaapi encoding work under guilded? as it uses electron but trying some variables it doesnt seem to be working properly,
i used

--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --use-gl=angle --use-angle=gl --enable-features=VaapiVideoEncoder, VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks, VaapiVideoDecoder, CanvasOopRasterization

it just shows a blank screenshare and doesnt go any further

and this is what comes up when running it through terminal and trying to screenshare with those vaapi env enabled

[3:0420/132926.042930:ERROR:egl_dmabuf.cc(407)] Error during eglInitialize: EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED
'loop->recurse > 0' failed at ../src/pipewire/thread-loop.c:417 pw_thread_loop_wait()
[3:0420/132931.023134:ERROR:egl_dmabuf.cc(407)] Error during eglInitialize: EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED
[OpenH264] this = 0x0x3d080b688930, Warning:Actual input framerate 0.000000 is different from framerate in setting 29.000000, suggest to use other rate control modes

seems it cant do the right frame rate with openh264?

We'd have to try and see if VAAPI works on Guilded in their official release first. If that works, then we can rule out it being a Guilded or Electron issue. I know it isn't working on Discord from personal experience (e.g. flathub/com.discordapp.Discord#359). I also saw similar discussion on the Chromium Flatpak (flathub/org.chromium.Chromium#266). Being on Wayland (such as I am) is also another factor.

I see, yeah vencord devs have been working on enabling vaapi encoding under vesktop and fixing the issues with other things with their api they use, it is done now and iv tested it, it works great and as intended

Will see what happens :)
