With their new Navi GPU series AMD added a new feature to the hardware encoders: High Motion Quality Boost. This option should allow you to get higher quality streams at the exact same bitrate, resolution and framerate, given that you own and use an AMD RX 5700 (XT/XT Anniversary).

However due to that the new feature, the plugin now finally dropped support for ancient drivers. You will now need...

The 19.x Driver started enforcing additional restrictions, which seem to only apply to AMD Vega GPUs and APUs. Due to this, the plugin would fail to properly initialize the encoder and users would have to manually set some options.

With this patch, this is no longer necessary. The encoder options are now applied correctly and should no longer cause any issues. Additionally a bug was fixed for A...

The plugin has been updated to the new 1.4.9.0 AMF SDK, which should make newer drivers work better with the plugin. Additionally some code cleanup has been done in order to reduce the work necessary for a Linux supporting build in the future - however there is no clear date on this yet. Various other errors were also fixed that could have caused crashes during startup, encoding and shutdown.

A new version, but it's merely a few stability improvements. A crash on missing D3D11 or D3D9 has been fixed, capability testing always writes supported GPUs to the log file and the H264 and H265 encoder now follow the specification of the codec and set Profile, Level and Tier before Resolution and Frame Rate - which might actually improve support for higher resolution and frame rate capture.
