Hope this hasn’t been asked, but I couldn’t find an answer yet. I know Hardware transcode only works on discrete GPUs and Intel integrated GPUs, so I assume that means you can’t hardware transcode with the new Ryzen APUs that were just released? Is that a feature that will become available any tim…

May I ask you pls a test of hw decoding / encoding with HEVC 10bit and HEVC 10 bit 4k to 1080p? Thank you so much. You can use jellyfish sample if you don’t have file to match my requirements. Thank you so much.

Thank you very much then I wait for your update!

@Wiidesire said: H.264 + H.265 hardware decoding works for me on my Ryzen APU 2400G. That’s decoding. How about ENcoding?

@cayars said: That’s decoding. How about ENcoding? It is both. That (hw) for encoding sits on the next line. :wink:

@cayars said: That’s decoding. How about ENcoding? Look at the graphs it’s both de- and encoding with the Vega GPU. You can also see it in PlexPy.

OOps my bad, I was just going by the wording in the post and didn’t look at the now playing screen. :frowning: Thanks for the clarification guys and keeping me on my toes! LOL

Wait wait… this isn’t on the Support page! I was about to pull the trigger on that exact APU but didn’t because I was under the impression plex h/w doesn’t support it Thanks @Wiidesire !! You just saved me a couple hundred bucks

Can anyone tell me whether you need to be logged into the machine for this type of transcoding to work? I have a headless windows server so I have Plex running as a service. I found that it wouldn’t do any hardware decode / encode unless I was logged into the console.
