Yeah when I first got the DS920+ I SSHd in after each PMS update and deleted the iHD driver, but more recently I followed ChuckPa’s advice to edit the preferences.XML here Migration Issue? 4k not working well on DS920+ and that seems to persist across updates.
It is pretty evident when it uses the iHD driver though, as hardware transcoding basically doesn’t work, or rather it tries to but still smashes the CPU and causes the output to hang after a couple of seconds… Literally software transcoding works better than the DS920+ with the iHD driver in play.
The issue I described above with artifacts is far less of a big deal than that, but sounded similar to what was being discussed in this thread so I thought I’d ask. Now it has been confirmed this is a Windows only issue I’ll try to grab some examples and start my own thread regarding my issues.
EDIT: Here’s a link to my issue Poor image quality when HW Transcoding HEVC 1080p content to 720p Obviously the output is nowhere near as bad as the pixelation examples in this thread, but the colour bleed/streaks can be quite noticeable when compared to all the other output.
