No Nvidia P400 decode acceleration with 1.17.0.1709

Ok, I think I’m set now. This seems to have been the resolution to this for me:

  1. I updated the OS to the latest version of Windows and removed all existing Nvidia drivers.
  2. On Windows 10 1903 with the basic driver, it still didn’t work. (Windows Update didn’t offer any newer driver)
  3. I updated the driver to the latest WHQL from Nvidia (clean installation) and it started working. Woo hoo.

I had installed that same driver under the prior Windows version, and it didn’t work. No idea why it worked the second time, but here we are.

In a related note, I realized that Tautulli was not properly reflecting the hardware acceleration status, which also threw me for a loop during testing. I wrote that up separately. Thanks for everyone’s help!
