New Transcoding slow with 1.25.0.5246 on Shield TV

[jamesbigler]

Looks like there is another thread with more details including Plex employee feedback.

Hardware transcoding issues with PMS 1.24.x and 1.25.x? Any details on what the HW transcoding issues are and is a fix in progress?

I have a Shield TV Pro being used as a Plex Media Server with an attached 8TB NTFS HDD. I have been reluctant to upgrade my PMS from 1.23.x to 1.24.x or 1.25.x due to a Plex employee and users here mentioning Hardware Transcoding issues in 1.24 and 1.25… What exactly are the issues in question? Is a fix in the works?
