Hardware Encoder stopped working.
Quote from SaiKou83 on 18/06/2026, 04:19I dont know if anyone else is having this problem but as I was using spacedesk, with the hardware encoder since it works better and doesnt lag me all that much as the soft encoder does, and suddenly spacedesk closed and wouldnt reconnect with the hardware encoder. I tried what I could to see if it would fix but it just shows me a black screen and would either say it failed to connect or stay on a black screen.

Have you updated your spacedesk App to the latest version 2.1.34? If not, please do so and then try again if there’s still a black screen on your end.

Thank you for sending your logs. Can you try changing the resolution to see if that would fix the black screen?
