Hi Plex,
My small Intel N3150 powered computer is capable of using the hardware transcoding option, and fares quite well serving up one local stream this way.
But sometimes some media are encoded a bit differently, and the hardware transcoding isn’t resilient enough to work through it (or support it).
But I thought by creating Optimized Version of new media (Universal TV) - every time stuff is added to Recently Added Movies and On Deck - I can create media which is better suited for the real-time hardware transcoding.
But it seems with the Hardware Transcoder option selected, the Optimizing of certain media (and also the Syncing to mobile) just fails outright. I guess because of lack of codec support in the hardware transcoder…
Is there a way to force Plex to Optimize (and Sync) using the software trancoder, although slow but with all codec-support?
But have the hardware transcoder be used for serving up media to my nVidia Shield TV, and mobile devices remotely…??
