Hi,
I’m building FFmpeg with NVIDIA GPU hardware acceleration following here.
I found FFmpeg can find NVIDIA NVENC when building FFmpeg master branch(commit 7aa71ab5c04cbff9ed4eb7c2925ceb33a8e4e970):

ffmpeg -encoders | grep 264

However, if I checkout FFmpeg other tags(n6.0/n5.1.3) and built it with the same command, FFmpeg can’t find NVIDIA NVENC anymore:

ffmpeg -encoders | grep 264

 V....D h264_vaapi           H.264/AVC (VAAPI) (codec h264)

But I found nvenc has been built in libavcodec.so:

nm libavcodec.so | grep nvdec
0000000000d5ab60 d ff_av1_nvdec_hwaccel
0000000000d5abe0 d ff_h264_nvdec_hwaccel

0000000000d63160 d ff_mjpeg_nvdec_hwaccel

0000000000d5ad60 d ff_mpeg2_nvdec_hwaccel
0000000000d5ade0 d ff_mpeg4_nvdec_hwaccel
00000000005b1f00 t ff_nvdec_decode_init
00000000005b1e90 t ff_nvdec_decode_uninit
...

So is there anything I missed?
Thanks!
