I don't think Fancy Bits ever made claims to support hardware transcoding on AMD.
Except this one time:
I was mistaken, we added AMF support on Windows. Looks like it should be possible to enable on Ubuntu now. I will take a look.

No problem I am sure you will figure it out. 
AMD transcoding support has been requested for various platforms before, and something we have been working to add for a while
You will need to install the AMF drivers:
sudo apt-get install ./amdgpu-install-VERSION.deb
sudo amdgpu-install -y --usecase=graphics,amf
You can find the .deb file here: Index of /amdgpu-install/latest/ubuntu/
Use this build with the drivers installed:
