QuickSync encoding not working

[WereCatf]

Ubuntu 21.04, Intel UHD 600, NoMachine NX 7.6.2.

Hardware-encoding and -decoding is working perfectly well in every other application, including e.g. ffmpeg, but NoMachine just simply refuses to make use of it. Applied the workaround in https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/TR03S10162 but that did not fix anything. Both the user and nx have been added to both the video- and render-groups, but still no go.

What the heck is wrong and how does one fix this?

Please check this article. If it doesn’t help, please gather server side logs as explained here. You can send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com.

I take it that you completely missed when I said I have already verified in multiple ways that HW-encoding/-decoding is working fine in every other application. That article is of zero use here.

Please send the logs as explained above. Can you show us the ffmpeg command that you used for encoding?
