I recently discovered that my shield cannot be hardware transcoded, and hw is not displayed on the playback information The version used is 1.25.3.5385

@anon18523487 With the latest version 1.30.1.6497 either still broken or broken again. Could you please ask the devs to have a look again? This happens with all files, also own phone recordings can’t hardware transcode. Thanks [Screenshot_20221228_112741_Firefox Nightly]
