Hardware transcoding doesn't appear to work properly

Plex never announces such timelines.

Glad things are working for you.

The Windows 64 bit version is recent, released on September 14, in 1.29.0.6209.

Zero-copy transcoding for Nvidia GPUs was added to the 64-bit builds a few days later, in 1.29.0.6219.

AFAIK, tonemapping on Windows still uses the CPU. I’ve seen no posts otherwise.

Apparently the performance boost provided by zero-copy transcoding makes tonemapping on Windows feasible.
