GPU transcoding on Qnap TVS882

This seems to be the best thread to follow on from this locked one a few years ago: New PlexServer releases no NVIDIA GPU encoding on QNAP - #23 by stiVal

It seems that you need to manually edit preferences.xml every time PlexMediaServer is upgraded.

  1. Can we request a feature to select the correct Render device in the GUI or make it automatic
  2. Can we confirm the behaviour if we hardcode the RenderD129 device is the QuickSync iGPU functionality of a compatible Intel processor ignored or prioritised?

thanks
