Hi Mounir,

The baseline/constrained profiles really are supported since they’re strict subsets of the existing supported profiles. We just haven’t updated the driver yet to include those new profile numbers in the table of supported profiles.

H264_HIGH_444_PREDICTIVE is a new one that will require additional support in the driver (and video players).

thank you Mr Plattner

Dear dev
is there any hope to see a new driver for legacy cards ?

Mounir

Is there any chance of this getting fixed /patched?
It seems to affect Steam remote play…
