Concat-exited Error

I've been having this error constantly with Tunarr ever since I started using it. It doesn't matter what channel, Plex will always crash & tell me about a playback error. Either "Unexpected problem has occurred" or "Could not tune channel", etc...

Every time I look at the logs, I keep seeing an error pop up every time Plex shows an error. I'm not sure what to do about this. I'm thinking it's more of a Windows problem than it is Tunarr. I'm guessing Microsoft is purposefully slowing down My PC because I'm still on Windows 10. That might be affecting it. Anyone have any solutions? I've posted two logs down below.

"2026-08-14T06:04:27.407Z [info]: channel-8-concat exited.

How to get CUDA GPU Transcoding to work

I've been using Tunarr with Plex for the last couple months. I can't seem to get GPU Decoding to work. I have a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti installed with a Ryzen 9 5900X running Windows 10 & I'm usually having issues with running Tunarr in software. Ranging from Plex abruptly giving me playback errors to my PC shutting off due to the high temps from Tunarr & Plex.

Has anyone been able to get CUDA transcoding to work? I've made sure to install CUDA Toolkit from Nvidia's site. I've tried changing the bitrate, resolution, HVEC to H.264, etc... I don't know how to stop it from erroring out on Plex. Plex is using the GPU just fine but Tunarr isn't? Any suggestions?
