AMD GPU Hardware acceleration

Fair enough.

This thread might have some useful information, if you haven’t stumbled upon it yourself already:

Got HW Transcoding to work with libva/vaapi on Ryzen APU (Ryzen 7 4700U)

Hey there, I’ve read a lot of comments stating that Plex HW transcoding can not be made to work with the vaapi APIs exported by AMD APUs with integrated graphics. This is true, at least looking at how Plex sets things up out of the box. Manually copying over the libva drivers for AMD GPUs plus related shared libraries fixed the problem for me. cp /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/radeonsi_drv_video.so /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/lib/dri/ && \ cp /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdrm_amdgpu.so.1.* /usr/lib/plex…

It’s a bit of a slog to read through, but many folks reported success in using AMD GPUs for hardware-accelerated transcoding.
