System information

Steam client version (build number or date): 1623193086
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Manjaro
Opted into Steam client beta?: No
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Steam Remote Play seems to use software encoding (libx264) instead of VAAPI. VAAPI seems to be working since I use it for ffmpeg transcoding.

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K
RAM: 24GB DDR3
GPU: AMD RX 5700-XT

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Client settings: 1080p60fps, 50Mbit/s, Stereo, HW Decoding enabled (working on Samsung TV)
Host settings: Everything checked except Nvidia NVFBC, thread count: Automatic
PC and TV are both connected by ethernet

vainfo: VA-API version: 1.11 (libva 2.11.1)
vainfo: Driver version: Mesa Gallium driver 21.1.2 for AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (NAVI10, DRM 3.40.0, 5.10.42-1-MANJARO, LLVM 12.0.0)
