I can’t seem to find an option to limit just the number of x265-transcodes, it always effects x264 too.
Is it possible to differentiate via the Preferences.xml, if yes how?
Thank you 🙂

Such an option would be very good indeed.
Even better also the possibility to give different limits for different resolutions.
The number the GPU is capable of typically differs a lot between 4K, 1080p, 720p and SD.
