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 But i just cant find anyone that can (or will) answer my question… or only found really outdated posts/pages.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…

So far my result is Nvidia Quadro p620 was able to pass through to vm successfully. However, it doesn’t keep up with transcoding live. Interestingly enough… The video card in task manager shows it’s only being utilized approximately 20%. Although buffering is reduced and other sources say this card…

i personally run promox when you run plex in a vm there are other optimization you need to do to get your performance out of it if your running docker or an LXC container it is much easier for you to pass full hardware to it to get the maximum performance out of it take a look at my github about h…

has there been any updates regarding amd gpu transcoding? i have an rx 5500 xt and it transcodes videos amazingly fast but under plex it spews out green waves when transcoding due to plexs complete lack of amd support, ive had to resort to using my integrated intel skylake gpu special for plex and i…

There really no reason to not have AMD VCE/VCN Hardware Acceleration in Plex at this point. Why there isn’t. Probably because they just don’t want to put forth the effort into putting in the code for it. If some application named VideoProc can use it then Plex should be able to.

totally. it was a different thing two or even one year ago, but now that amd APUs and GPUs are so widespread AMF/VCN should be implemented asap. i mean even hundreds of smalltime open source apps have it built-in so why not plex?

Woohoo. I got meself a P2200 (owing to everlasting shortage of GPUs in the world including the P2000. As of today the P2200 is also a rare find. It’s either a P400 or P5000 in my country. :frowning:

Well I finally hit a wall, which was adding 4k media to my current NAS. This NAS was for personal storage but I found it worked fine up until my latest additions to my media collection. I am looking to build my own “NAS” media server since selecting the hardware to transcode media files is limited…

Bumping to help bring attention to this. Wish Plex would at least provide update, or acknowledgement that this is in the works.
