@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.
