I've 'x264' installed, why would screencast possibly tell me it won't find an encoder? Tried on a laptop using both the intel GPU and AMD GPU with the same result.

You need the corresponding gstreamer plugins, not just the library. I am working on adding gnome-software integration to run an automatic install for missing and essential plugins.
I'll close this for now, as I think that is dealt with in other places.

And which plugins would that be? Readme doesn't list any.
benzea commented
The gstreamer plugin is called x264.

Seems to be in gst-plugins-ugly on Arch, I'll poke the AUR maintainer about it.
Now I seem to be hitting the webOS issue, will post there soon.
