Hi,

Is there a way to know if hardware/software transcoding is used during conversion to optimize version?

After some observation(attached screen shot), I noticed that on some media the “Plex Media Server” service uses more CPU during conversion, while some other media the “Plex Transcoder”
uses more CPU during conversion.

Is it correct to say that the “Plex Media Server” service is used during Software Trancoding while “Plex Transcoder” service is used during hardware transcoding?

Best Regards,
Chew
