Latest update has rendered my plex server un usable!

Folks.

I am finding that CUDA SDK v12.0 is a problem. (That’s Nvidia 525 drivers and above)

The 1.30.x series also introduces AV1 Hardware Decoding support for transcoding.

I have confirmed:

CUDA SDK 11.7 is good enough to HW decode AV1

Downgrade to the version I show and hold there until we get our arms around this.

This is one of those cases “Don’t upgrade just because you can” :wink:
(we have some work to do)

I can provide AV1 sample videos to confirm it all works (HD → 4K)
