As far as I can find, Plex does not support AMD iGPU for transcoding. Jellyfin will work, but support seems rather spotty. For other AI/ML work, it seems like ROCm is up and coming, but support - e.g. for Frigate object detection - is still a work in progress, especially for newer chips.

I have an AM4 AMD iGPU I use with Jellyfin; it works fine.

Is it actually using the iGPU, or just "brute forcing" it?

I've put it in quotes as the effort required from these chips for streaming transcoding is so low these days that brute force makes it sound like more effort than it really is.

What's your source for this? Transcoding without acceleration is incredibly expensive, especially for 4K content, and especially for 4K HDR content.

Even a single 4K HDR -> 1080p transcode takes a huge amount of resources.

The Asustor Lockerstor4 Gen3 has a Quad-Core Ryzen Embedded V3C14 and cannot transcode 4K content.

Meanwhile, an old Kaby Lake Intel chip does so just fine but only because its QSV can handle h265.
