Option to Disable CPU Transcoding Only (Keep GPU Transcoding enabled)

Feature Suggestions
1

I see that there is a newish option “Maximum simultaneous CPU transcodes” but the minimum value is 1. I would like to have a minimum value of 0, so I can disable CPU transcoding entirely and only allow GPU transcoding. I do want to keep GPU transcoding enabled and not disable transcoding generally, but I never want it to fall back to the CPU.

Basically, if GPU transcoding fails for any reason, it’s “tough luck” and a client must either direct play or wait until I’ve restarted my server so that GPU transcoding starts working again.

Please consider giving us this option. Thank you.

Voting for this,

The old setting gave server owners control over how many total video transcodes could be attempted at once. The split to GPU and CPU inadvertently took away that control.
