Intermittent HW Transcoding - Is this normal?

Plex Media Server
1

I thought I was loosing my mind, that I had not properly setup IOMMU, and Drivers correctly. But after running some cuda stress tests, I can confirm that the GPU and rivers are holding up.

I just migrated from Plex on a Linux LXC, to docker. Below is my compose file.

When running a test playback from the web player, I will see it switch to HW mode for a few seconds, then switch back off. Logs show successful trans-coding, no errors.

Is this normal, my only assumption could be that it it processing ahead of time, but I am only on a 3050 in my server, so I would doubt it.

Any ideas?

Also, sometimes it just gets stuck on a black playback screen, and the timestamp slider stops working. Again, no errors in plex logs.
