I’m running Plex on Linux on a machine with an Intel CPU that supports decoding and encoding. But so does the NVIDIA GPU. Looking at the GPU usage stats for each, it appears that Plex is preferring to use the Intel hardware over the NVIDIA hardware.
Is there a way to direct the server to prefer one over the other? Does it matter which it uses?
It only matters if the capabilities are different.
To specify which to use, use HardwareDevicePath="/dev/dri/XXXXXX"
Thanks, that’s very helpful! I’ll have to do some research to know if there’s a reason to select one over the other. Is it possible to use both? I have a Xeon E3-1585L and a Quadro P1000.
It’s not possible to use both.
It was added for those cases when the CPU might be a H.264-only cable ASIC but the GPU card is HEVC-cable.
This allows permanent selection of one over the other.
There is no ‘pooling’ selection effect.
