Hello @bneiderman,
You can use the P2000 in linux to a degree for both encode and decode on most movie formats.
If you’re not familiar with bash scripting I recommend using this script put together by @revr3nd to hack it into working
If you do understand bash scripting, basically you’d be good to go for most movies (i.e. mkv h264/h265) if you rename your transcoder.bin to something else then make a script that call that something else transcoder and add the parameter -hwaccel nvdec
In my lab this works tons better than windows.
Also in my testing, for reasons I’ve failed to quantify (lazy), it works much better in ubuntu 18.04 than in Fedora 28/29.
