Describe the Bug

Sunshine doesn't detect hardware decoding capabilities of my Intel UHD 630 graphics card in an I7 8750h CPU and instead automatically selects software x264 encoding which is significantly worse for latency and quality.

Expected Behavior

Hardware encoding is detected and enabled.

Support for quicksync is in progress, we currently only support Intel encoding through VAAPI on Linux.

[kcajjones]

Ahh thanks for this. I see now that it's being worked on and it's in the road map. Much appreciated. Please keep up the good work!

[cgutman]

This is supported in the latest nightly now.
