I'm starting to experience Hardware Transcode Keep Buffering on DS918+

I just did some more research and found this thread. So I reverted my PMS back to version 1.32.1.6999 and now the problems are gone. I watched the same episode with the same settings I used to create the logs in my previous post. PMS buffered MUCH faster than with the latest version and I didn’t run into any buffer timeouts.
According to this post in the mentioned thread above there should already be a fix for Apollolake CPUs (which I have, because my PMS is running inside Docker on a DS1019+ too, just like the OP of the linked thread) in the current version of PMS but from what I can tell now it still isn’t fixed.
