Hardware Accelerated Decode (Nvidia) for Linux

Sorry, folks, it seems there’s been a bit of miscommunication in here; hopefully I can get that all cleared up.

The transcoder is built in a bit of a complex way, but you can get the configure args by running the Plex Transcoder binary with no arguments. You’ll see a number of flags disabling codecs; for local use, you’ll likely want to remove those.

Regarding NVDEC, that feature was added to ffmpeg fairly recently, and we’ll be including it in a future update once we’ve integrated it and gone through testing. I can’t give any estimates on when that’ll happen, but it is on our radar.
