Ive been trying the support forum, reddit, google… well almost everything i could think of. But i just cant find anyone that can (or will) answer my question… or only found really outdated posts/pages. So i guess ill just try one more time here. (Dont know why its so hard for the plex team to have…

Dont think so. Afaik, amd gpus for video is rubbish. It seems like a waste of resources to implement before they improve

Hi mcgrog, Thank you for this post! I am more or less mirroring your build! I got a screaming deal on a gen10 with the same x3421 I have a p620 laying around and some 3tb green drives still kicking. I was wondering can you post a more in-depth run down of your build, what you did for cables / cards…

AMD GPU for hw ranscoding is perfectly working for the open source competitor to PLEX, using ffmpeg and VAAPI, so it can (and should) be done. On my modest (kabini) setup, the same h264 transcoded video goes from +90% CPU use to +5% CPU use…

Well, this is now becoming a serious problem. Only support Intel CPUs (slow and expensive) and not supporting AMD graphics or CPUs (absurd). So just to make it clear: I am never going to buy an Intel CPU, Intel are a wretched company who play dirty tricks their whole lives. Just as bad as it was…

I was just shopping around for a new AMD apu (G-processor) based server. Very sad to see that I won’t be able to use it as my Plex server due to this silly limitation. Just to double-check, does AMD APU work on Windows Server? Linux?

Works on windows from everything I’ve found.
