[FFmpeg-user] Nvenc transcode on GTX690 with >1 channel per GPU

[Subscriptions@znet.ca]

Hello everyone,

Please disregard previous mail; I managed to start two channels on the 
same GPU, however it is unreliable - first channel will start every 
time, while second may fail or work. Investing. Just for information, 
card is:

4:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 690] (rev 
a1)
04:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 HDMI Audio Controller 
(rev a1)
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104GL [Tesla 
K10] (rev a1)
05:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 HDMI Audio Controller 
(rev a1)

Sorry for the noise,
George.
