Transcoding (using hw) suddenly doesn't work anymore

You see what I posted?

Those are the least grievous errors

@ChuckPa and I continued in a private conversation due to the fact the the pref file contains sensitive content. We concluded that it wasn’t working because my Preferences.xml file was completely broken. There were invalid values everywhere. This all lead to transcoding not working for me. The source of the problem was that I was programming and did something with plex that wasn’t supported and plex couldn’t handle it and broke my Preferences.xml file as a result. Chuckpa looked through my broken pref file and created a new file based on it that wasn’t broken. All the values were corrected and set to the desired values. I downloaded this file, replaced the broken file with it and restarted plex. It all works now :slight_smile:

Lesson learned: don’t do stuff with software that it doesn’t support. It will mess things up.
