AMD / nVidia Media Accelerators for Plex?


Recommended Posts

I don't have any issue with what I'm currently using for a video card for transcoding Plex media, but curious if anybody has ever used any of these types of specific media decoder devices:

Sounds pretty sexy if you were going to have a lot of concurrent users. Though I'm probably missing some glaring detail about how these devices aren't supported with our current configuration/version of unRAID. And I'm aware that AMD video cards don't work with Plex for transcoding.

Just seen a video about this card. Its very interesting. Currently running a p4000 in my rig. I've my eye on an Intel a40 if they ever get released to the general public..... I would be interested in the new nvidia a2000 but I only have space for single slot cards. the cost is just a bit too steep for most for just a plex server(if they allowed AMD ofc).
