Yep, I made a ffmpeg 4.0 snap (currently classic) that supports nvenc and VA-APPI hardware accelerated decoding and encoding. I also have a prototype that is strictly confined, just waiting on some AppArmor tweaks in snapd so this can be reused.
The ffmpeg snap is 20MB so small enough to bundle in an application snap that requires ffmpeg.
Hi guys,
Sorry for possibly bumping this but I have a question - and I think you guys are the perfect people to ask!
Right now I use Ubuntu 16.04 and I have a script I made that builds FFMpeg 3.4 with NVENC support and builds the latest OBS Studio from the GitHub repo master branch and it works great using NVENC recording in OBS Studio with my GTX 1070. I am wondering - if I use Ubuntu 18.04 with snaps, is it possible for me to just install an FFMpeg snap and an OBS Studio snap and then I can use NVENC recording in OBS Studio with my GTX 1070 - that way, with two snaps, I no longer need to build? Is this possible in Ubuntu 18.04? What about in Ubuntu 16.04 - is this possible?
If this is not currently possible, is it planned for the future?
Thanks!
@ipkpjersi Iāve been working on an ffmpeg 4.0.x snap which can now be confined. The plan is to bundle ffmpeg, that supports accelerated encoding, in the OBS snap.
Hi,
That is awesome news. I am so glad there is a plan for the OBS snap to come with an NVENC-enabled ffmpeg. Thanks so much.
Cheers.

Issue: OBS does not detect my blackmagic card.
System configuration
Ubuntu 18.04
RX 570 open source drivers
uname -a Linux deepcool 4.15.0-45-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 29 16:28:13 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
No issue with blackmagic software install
When I used obs 21 in the ubuntu repo windows capture would display colours incorrectly. But the blackmagic card would have an option in the obs sources. I forget what it was called So I decided to use obs in the snap repo and that problem was resolved only to be replaced with this one.
How do I have my cake and eat it too?
Run the following command and report the output:
env SNAP_CONFINE_DEBUG=1 snap run obs-studio
The snap packaging probably didnāt migrate the configuration to the new snap revision during a snap upgrade/refresh, you should be able to acquire the old configuration at ~/snap/obs-studio/old_revision
It works now and it has NVENC support! Thank you guys!
I canāt use my video capture card due to an apparmor profile issue.
Iāve made sure that the necessary interfaces where all there:
snap connections obs-studio
Interface Plug Slot Notes
alsa obs-studio:alsa :alsa manual
camera obs-studio:camera :camera -
desktop obs-studio:desktop :desktop -

x11 obs-studio:x11 :x11 -
However when run try to connect add my capture device as a video capture device, the input is an all black screen, and I get this on dmesg:
audit: type=1400 audit(1555187313.230:2295): apparmor=āDENIEDā operation=āopenā profile=āsnap.obs-studio.obs-studioā name="/sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_vendor" pid=16491 comm=āobsā requested_mask=ārā denied_mask=ārā fsuid=1000 ouid=0
Running the snap with --classic is a workaround, but I think it defeats part of the purpose of using snaps.
Seems like that would be allowed by hardware-observe from this line: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/master/interfaces/builtin/hardware_observe.go#L49
What is your video capture cardās model anyway?
Itās the one that Slimbook sells, it works perfectly under Ubuntu. Iāve used already on previous occasions.
As you can see on my previous post, that is an interface that was present and connected.
OBS does detect the device, It just canāt read from it.
Driver update broke OBS.

Iāve just triggered a rebuild which should land in the edge channel a little later. If you snap refresh obs-studio --edge can you give that a shake and see if itās still got a problem?
Iāve discussed about this topic on the IRC and it appears to be a problem within the NVIDIA support glue.
No dice.
