Why can't I do hardware-accelerated _decoding_ (cuvid) with nVidia hardware?

@TeknoJunky

basically, it sounds like the reason for the delay is a legal/contract issue, not a technical issue.

how or why emby can use a newer version is irrelevant if plex has not worked out there legal/contractual problem.

I highly doubt that (although I could be wrong). The last time ChuckPA started talking about legal contracts and Company Confidential info, he ended up locking a thread and called for a cease and desist, only for another employee to come in and do damage control:

Hardware Accelerated Decode (Nvidia) for Linux

Please allow me to restate. You are not privy to all the legal matters and contractual arrangements between Plex and others. You are not entitled to information how Plex complies with legal and contractual matters. What you are asking for is Company Confidential. I will thank you to cease and desist.
