Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
Trying to run OBS Studio. Getting the error message:
Failed to initialize video. Your GPU may not be supported, or your graphics drivers may need to be updated.
Is OBS incompatible with my device, or is there some solution for this?
OBS should be able to work, try launching it from the command line by setting these environment variables first:
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
Still same issue unfortunately

@AthleteInAction OBS relies on vaapi backends for intel, nvidia or radeon graphics cards, it was not made for encoding on the mali GPU, it should be able to do CPU encoding with some reduced performance capabilities.
The default OBS version requires OpenGL support but for Edge2 GPU only supports OpenGL ES, so you can’t run it by default. But if you really want to use it you can try to remove the GPU package and using CPU to rendering, in this case you will lose some performance.
You can follow this doumentation to remove the GPU package.

Thank you. This worked. Side question, Is there a better board for recording 1080p 60fps?
720p 30 fps is about the best stable recording I can get
