Can we use this hardware encode? 🤔 https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/11993

[ReenigneArcher]

I think MF encoder is already included with the FFmpeg build, so why not?

Well, I didn't read the source code of sunshine. This part is up to you. 🤪

Build failed on Windows AMD64 until https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/issues/3936 resolved

[ReenigneArcher]

ci has been refactored a bit, the windows build is now in a separate workflow. It's already setup for a matrix build so should be easy to adapt your changes.

NSIS not available for ARM64... How to create installer?

https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/pull/3916 in process, but needs some adjustments. The scripts don't actually run during install.
