This version and the beta right before it broke the in-line transcoding on the DVR.
Situation - you have set each tuner’s gear options pulldown menu to “transcode” from the “off” setting.
You record a show, it uses constant ~50% cpu on an i5-3470 windows 10 plex server. This shows it isn’t using intel quicksync, previously the cpu usage would be nil and I mean nil, just hard drive activity and the recorded show would end up h264 with whatever native audio format the show was broadcast as.
This is if you have transcoder set to use hardware acceleration. I’ve turned this in-line to “off” and it doesn’t use CPU, but the written file stays as mpeg2. I also happen to use the commercial skipping but I don’t think that is related - that’s post processing.
Live TV and playback of recorded mpeg2 appear to use “(hw)” just fine in the h264 encoding.
This is with a Hauppauge QuadHD pci express card, but I don’t think its related to the card - I think the transcoder isn’t being told of the setting enabled anyore for the hardware acceleration when its launched by the DVR.
