That would depend upon the application.  Plex and HandBrake, for example, do not support AMD GPUs (integrated or discrete) for transcoding.  Only Intel and Nvidia are supported.  HandBrake supports encode only.

 

I am not aware of any application that supports AMD GPUs for hardware transcoding although some claim they have got it to work in Plex even without official support.

Yes, subject, of course, to the containers' ability to make use of them. You mention transcoding, but AMD GPUs aren't currently officially supported by Plex - see the blue box on this page: https://support.plex.tv/articles/115002178853-using-hardware-accelerated-streaming/

 

It's not official in Plex but have seen many comments from those getting it to work, but there is also Emby and Jellyfin who do seem to officially support AMD

 

But it is good to know that this is now a possibility with unraid!

Asked on reddit as well

 

With the integration of the amdgpu drivers, does that now allow the use of amd igpu's from chips like 3200g and 3400g to be used in docker containers for transcoding, same as intel igpu's?
