Sorry about that

I think I might be on to something here that may explain what’s going on. I’m coming from the Libreelec/Kodi world that so far, has played everything I’ve thrown at it using an AMD GPU. I suspect that either Plex or the Linux system has issues with HVC1/HEVC files, but more specifically, those that use the MKV container. Apparently MP4 containers don’t have issues.

Is Plex more friendly with Nvidia GPU’s as apposed to AMD, specifically in a Linux Env?
