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…

@playmake said: May I ask you pls a test of hw decoding / encoding with HEVC 10bit and HEVC 10 bit 4k to 1080p? Sure, I’ll try a UHD Blu-ray rip and a 1080p H.265 10-bit file on the weekend.

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.

When running as a service, encoding in hardware might work, but not decoding.

I read for Windows you need to get an HDMI plug to trick it into thinking something is there
