> So a year later. I finally read through all of y’all’s comments. Great conversations. But now the real question no one has asked in a while. Does PMS on Linux support HW decoding out of the box without doing a fancy patch? I’d rather not mess with my system more than I need to. Wife got mad at me the last time I took our server down tinkering.

Not out of the box yet, but can be doen with a minor fix. See this thread here: [Guide: NVDEC Hardware Acceleration Patch for Plex Media Server on Linux](https://forums.plex.tv/t/guide-nvdec-hardware-acceleration-patch-for-plex-media-server-on-linux/391322)
