Nvidea Shield 2019 won't transcode (HW acceleration)

Like OP, HW transcoding is broken.

I’m still on Android 9. Server Version is 1.25.3.5385. On the dashboard, it shows as transcoding, but no (HW) designation that I used to see.

I think this snippit from my log shows it:

Jan 23, 2022 18:41:19.506 [24168] DEBUG - Starting a transcode session C909627D-873E-4C00-A57A-E3C98D7F69CA at offset 0.0 (state=3)

Jan 23, 2022 18:41:19.507 [24168] DEBUG - TPU: hardware transcoding: enabled, but no hardware decode accelerator found

It’s definitely broken - transcodes work, but I’m getting buffering, stuttering, and artifacts in videos I never got before.
