Hardware encoding not working reliably

@ChuckPa. Thank you for the quick responses. I appreciate your assistance.

A couple more questions:

  • Is there a bug tracker or something else I can monitor to know when the issue has been resolved?
  • Does the issue affect any other clients, or should I expect transcoding to work correctly on all other players?
  • Could my issue be at all related to the issues described in this ongoing thread (Hardware transcoding issue), or do you suspect it to be a separate issue?

Thinking that it might be related to that issue, I spun up a new LXC on proxmox, installed PMS 1.29.2.6364, and hardware transcoding appears to work. I switched it on/off and between different resolutions a couple dozen times, and everything worked fine.
