Yeah the native apps work great on my M1 Mac and WebOS. But I've also got a 1st gen iPad Pro I'm trying to use and Swiftfin is chugging.
I have a spare RX460 I decided to put into my server. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel, but it ought to be better than CPU transcoding, right? Problem is, I'm not convinced Jellyfin is even using it. I'm still getting the ~15 second buffer when skipping through the video on the web client.
I've allocated 1 GPU to Jellyfin through TrueNAS's app config.

I've enabled hardware transcoding through the Jellyfin Dashboard. Based on the documentation for AMD GPUs AMF with AV1 disabled should be the best config for an RX460.

But during playback, radeontop shows no utilization and all CPU cores are still being hit.

I will probably need a better GPU eventually anyway, but I'd at least like to confirm that Jellyfin can use my GPU at all before I go out buying something new.
