Looks normal… try a reboot perhaps.
Restart didn’t resolve it. Something is wrong… this is better hardware than what I was running and this thing can barely stream at 240p.

Yea that seems off…
Maybe check the bios settings and make sure the processor isn’t in energy saving mode?
You are a genius and I am a complete and total idiot. Wasn’t a setting… it was a power supply. I got the warning as soon as I booted into the bios. I didn’t pay attention when I swapped out the laptops and I had left the 65w adapter in there when it needed a 90w. Bios warned that the system performance had been adjusted to accommodate. I still can’t enable the hardware transcoder but software seems to be performing just fine. Do you think I should try an uninstall and reinstall? Do you know if Channels makes any determinations on install?

Reinstall won’t change anything…
Can you run the command from Can't seem to enable hardware transcoding again and see what it says?

When I switched to D129 (which I have no idea what I’m doing…) I get this…

Very interesting… there are two cards somehow and only one works.
I think my install is FUBAR because of my mistake with the power supply.
Seems unlikely… I think ubuntu discovers the devices on every reboot.
Either way I’ve fixed this for the next DVR build so it will try to use renderD129 if it exists.
EPIC! Thanks man!
v2017.05.24.1509 is out with the fix. Click “check for upgrade” and it should work now.

Still no hardware option. I think something is messed with my install.
Ah, my change was wrong… sorry. Will roll another build shortly.
Run this in Terminal to update to test build:
curl -XPUT http://127.0.0.1:8089/updater/check/2017.05.24.1552
Oh man, it worked! but…

it gets better if I set it to blend on the deinterlacer but even it has some issues.

That might be normal for 2mbps. Try a higher bitrate?
Check your BIOS settings again and see if there are options for selecting the primary GPU. Seems like your machine maybe has two of them.
