Screen share is using software decoding (VP8) regardless of codec settings

Observed behaviour

I'm encountering a strange issue where it does not matter what encoding settings I select, Fluxer is always picking VP8 for its encoding process which my processor doesn't support. I've selected every different option, restarted the client each time, and yet this never stops being an issue. It will also always say VP8 regardless of the encoding setting picked. I should mention, I am on the latest Canary. Windows 10 64x 1909. Sadly am locked on this version of windows, though it shouldn't matter given that programs like Discord do not have this issue. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HK CPU @ 2.70GHz NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1080
