Transcoding support API

[k5rqo]

Hi, sometimes my gpu drivers get updated automatically and then jellyfin errors when it tries to use cuda for encoding. Is there a way to query for cuda support or transcoding support in general from the api? I would like to implement an action when the api then tells me cuda is unusable.

I don't see how GPU drivers updating would completely break encoding, but it isn't the weirdest thing I've seen.

AFAIK, such an API does not exist. But supposedly something resembling that is being worked on.

The workaround would be to disable auto-updates for your GPU drivers. If this is Linux you can mark packages so they don't auto-update.

Thanks for the reply, i know i can turn the auto updates off but for other reasons i have to keep it like this. Hopefully the api change will be made sooner than later.
