Determining the Transcoder Plex is using

Plex Media Server

Server Version#: Latest as of this posting, running on Windows
Player Version#: N/A

My servers has the ability to HW transcode via the nVidia GPU or the Intel CPU.
Is there a quick easy place to look to see which one is actually being used?

Log files, need Debug logging turned on: Plex Media Server Logs | Plex Support

Plex uses the default video for determining what GPU it uses. With Windows the Intel iGPU is usually disabled.

In the Plex Media Server.log file you can search for DEBUG - [Transcode] or use the web app and console to filter for the same.

Thanks for the quick response. I’ll have a look as advised.
