I have the HEVC codec installed on the machine and have confirmed that it can playback a local file using media player. I can send h.264 SRT stream to vMix without issues but when I send h.265 I get this error .... error: failed to configure output type. SRT listener.Decode Thread I successfully stream h.265 from this same camera source to other end points without problems but for some reason vMix is failing. Any ideas?

It's possible, if you have both on-board graphics and a GPU, it could be doing something weird. If so, you may want to go into the nVidia control panel and "pin" vMix to use that GPU exclusively.

I found a NVIDIA menu to "manage 3D settings" that 20+ different features (Antialiasing, CUDA GPUs, Overlay enable, etc) can be specified for vMix. Any idea what setting(s) might need to be tweaked? Thanks!

If I untick "Use Hardware Encoder" on the vMix input I do get an image displayed with h.265 but it's garbage and not decoding properly. Looks like it's missing a color channel and pixel information,

Thanks! Is your system local pc or in cloud? And if local you have another gpu for display? Because i see that this kind of GPU doesnt have outputs. Vmix doesnt suggest 2 gpu in same system,so maybe something happens there. Or look maybe for another gpu driver?

Looks like it's missing a color channel and pixel information, Well, garbage we can do something about. If you look in the Stats window in the SRT tab, if you're getting more than 25% packet loss (the default reserve bandwidth setting for SRT), try re-adding the source using a higher latency setting. I did a game where the 4G modems had more than 30% packet loss and bumping the latency up to 5000ms (yes, 5 seconds) totally fixed it.

I tried upping the latency anyway. No change.

It's an AWS EC2 g4dn.8xlarge We tried some different drivers previously with no luck. The different drivers actually totally dorked the NiceDCV screen mirroring.
