Figured it out. For whatever reason hardware decoding only works with mapped drives not UNC paths. I will file a bug with Plex.
EDIT: So it’s broken again. Nothing has changed besides rebooting my server and now I can’t get hardware decode working any longer. Looks like it might just be kind of buggy still.
EDIT 2: I have this working reliably. I have no idea how I had it working in the first place but it’s now working persistently through reboots, etc. I plugged this dongle into my P2000. Without the dongle I only get hardware encode. With the dongle plugged in I get both hardware encode and decode. That’s a wrap for me. Sorry about all the replies!
