When I tried playing 4K videos, the playback stops and buffers for a second or two, every 5-7 seconds. Disabling HW Acceleration allows the video to be played without issue. Is AMD GPU the issue or is there a specific driver or adapter I should be using for HW transcoding?
AMD GPUs are not yet officially supported.
PMS only has, at best, SDR (not HDR) capability for AMD. SDR is outdated and of little/no use anymore
Gotcha, Thank you for the update. Any eta on AMD support?
Is there anything I can do in the interim? Running software transcoding ramps up the CPU to 80%+ across all cores.
Putting a Nvidia card in the same rig isn’t ideal. In my experience running both side by side in the same rig ends up with more issues than fixed.
Nothing you can do at the moment.
Chris is finishing the transcoder upgrade (needed to add AMD support)
Agenda as far as I know
Looks like I’ve got a bit to wait then. Alright. I’ll see what I can do for just the 4k content. Appreciate it.
Does HEVC/x265 matter or is it still boiled down to an AMD issue?
H264 (aka AVC) is SDR (standard dynamic range) .
IF the AMD drivers are installed, PMS should be able to transcode it.
I don’t have an AMD GPU here so cannot test.. Sorry
