Player Version#: Android TV 10.30.6.4151
My server has two GPUs in it: an AMD iGPU, and an Intel Arc B580. I’ve had transcoding working for a while in Plex, and I know Battlemage support isn’t working yet, so I want to continue using the AMD iGPU.
This is selected in the UI:

This is reflected in the FFmpeg invocation:

The device, vaapi:/dev/dri/renderD129, is the correct card:

However, playback fails with Intel-specific complaints from VAAPI, mirroring Battlemage errors:

This seems like a bug - why is it even touching the Arc card (renderD128) enough to fail on initializing it?
