Problem with transcoding to HEVC via VAAPI

I am not sure if problem is related to LE build of TVH or directly to TVH, so I am trying here:

Situation: LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.95.002 with Generic-service.tvheadend42-4.3-1704 on PC with Intel i7-8700

Problem: When I try transcode any video with hevc_vaapi codec, then option "Bitrate (kb/s) (0=auto)" not working as expected. Every value except 0 result in very bad video picture quality with extremly low bitrate. Trancoding with h264_vaapi works ok.

Is way how to set HEVC bitrate?

Thank you for the advice.

On distributions where squashfs is used, please add symlink from /etc/systemd/logind.conf to (for example) /storage/.config/systemd/logind.conf which can be used to change behaviour of power buttons function. Sometimes it may be useful to disable the power button function so that it can be remapped to another function.
