With the beta testing release, the hardware decoding is working for several recent Intel GPU architectures (Tigerlake, Aderlake, Raptorlake), so far, we only experienced a problem on Roadwell (Gen8) GPU, the oldest GPU generation we aim to support for this release, we will work to make it working very soon ... Let's keep the faith Michel !
