@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](https://forums.plex.tv/t/hardware-transcoding-issue/826410)), 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/hardware-encoding-not-working-reliably/835294)._
