Adding which GPU to use for transcoding

[bryant2of3]

Was reading online about QNAP users not having an easy time trying to setup which GPU they want to use. Would be cool, if Plex allow us to select which GPU hardware we want to use to transcode with. Hoping you could pass this on to your development team.

There’s actually already an existing suggestion thread discussing that option. I suggest you comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes (especially with topics that seem to struggle finding wide support in the community). In that Case I’ll close this message as a duplicate.

GPU utilization drop down

Any chance there could be a GPU selection option for plex in the transcoding section for HW transcoding? Currently I have 2 gpu’s an RTX 2070 and p2000. Looks like the new beta release only uses the RTX card, whereas the prior versions used whatever card was assigned as the primary display. I would rather not setup a VM with pci passthrough to the p2000 to get this to work, my only other option would be to build another PC which isnt in my budget right now.
