Mixed Tdarr clusters often fail when macOS or non-NVIDIA nodes attempt NVENC. This flow enforces hardware-safe routing before transcode plugins run.
This Tdarr flow automatically selects the correct hardware encoder per node:
- Intel iGPU (Linux / Windows) → QSV (Boosh plugin)
- Apple Silicon (macOS) → VideoToolbox (via Boosh)
- NVIDIA GPU → NVENC (DOOM plugin)
