@micr0 OBS itself? Just the usual stuff, with PipeWire window capture for the avatar and JACK (via PW) audio input for the audio (I do all my audio mixing/processing separately in Carla).
Stream machine is separate from my workstation and I just capture HDMI from it to show the desktop (or any other HDMI source like a Switch or a test machine's output, through an HDMI matrix).
@lina oh I see, I thought you had some sort of hardware acceleration going on for encoding on Asahi Linux set up that I wasn't able to figure out. so your stream machine isn't running Asahi? I tried recording with software encoding and it was quite a struggle with lots of frame drops
@micr0 It's Asahi but it's software encoding. Even a baseline M2 machine can handle high quality 1080p60 without any issues, on top of audio processing and other stuff!
You might be using openh264 by default which is slower though. Try enabling the RPM Fusion repos and installing obs-studio-plugin-x264.
