has anyone tested PMS on the latest M2, Pro/Max machines? does the better media engine provide any benefits? wondering if it’s an improvement over the M1 for simultaneous transcodes? or is the Video Toolbox implementation still a bottleneck for multiple HW transcodes?
What bottleneck?
maybe I misunderstood, but I had thought there was a limitation on how many hw transcodes video toolbox could support concurrently… I guess more importantly, I’m wondering if there any additional advantages in the M2 family that PMS can leverage for transcoding.
Plex’s support doc claims there’s a limit of a single stream, but I don’t think that’s been accurate for a very long time.

There have been reports of 6+ simultaneous sessions on Apple M1 CPUs:
I don’t mean to distract from your question about the M2, and if it’s better than the M1 for this purpose. I’m curious as well.

After sone not very scientific testing, I’m seeing a lot more CPU than I expected and uncertain if that is expected or if the new chip and/or GPU isn’t being taken advantage of completely.
