I have the 690 DDR4 and it works great.

That doesn't work in software either?

Check my work for sure, but I believe I read that AL should be able to handle a couple of those. Also, IIRC, @ich777 mentioned in this thread (or a similar one) a suggested GPU to use as a stopgap. Hopefully he remembers and can chime in. I think at the time, whatever it was it was about $200. Since GPUs are in freefall, its probably even cheaper now.

If you can live with software for now, then absolutely get an Alder Lake.

The 6.11 builds of Unraid will have the new kernel natively. By then (based on what little I know), I would expect for HW transcoding to be totally working at that point.

Changes for Alder Lake were apparently not added to this release.

Most likely, yes. It should be resolved pretty soon for Plex. And seemingly is resolved for other tools. Also, Alder Lake is a beast and can handle quite a bit of transcoding in software, as long as you aren't doing 4k stuff.

Agreed. I would wait on the nVidia GPU.

Absolutely. The Alder Lake issue is with the iGPU.

Isn't the ICR already inside the container? I have no idea how this stuff works.

Whoops, I stand corrected. Plex may work with the 1.27.2 release.

So in theory the recent Plex Pass version has the newest Alder Lake fixes. I haven't tested it, but along with the 5.18 kernel, it *might* work.

I tried switching over to the official one and I can't even start the setup on that one. It just says that it can't connect to it. I'm useless. LOL

Tried with VAAPI enabled and got the same error. Clearly I'm doing something wrong here. 😐

I assume I should grab your "Jellyfin-AMD-Intel-Nvidia" container? EDIT: If so, I get the following error when trying to transcode. I passed in /dev/dri, and enabled QS for the formats specified in your Docker readme. This was attempted in the browser. I think I've done everything correctly, but I've never used Jellyfin before.

I don't know the first thing about Jellyfin, but will try to get it setup. FWIW, I've been monitoring this thread and it seems like the Plex guys have figured out the right ingredients to make Plex work with Alder Lake. https://forums.plex.tv/t/ubuntu-22-04-packaging-development-preview/793355/1

I'm using binhex-plexpass. I can't imagine that its actually the container that's the issue, but does anyone else have issues with the linuxserver container?

I'm voting for lucky somehow. 6.10 final with the 5.18RC kernel crashed my *entire* server as soon I started a transcoding sync job. I'm running an Alder Lake 12600

@thor2002ro's 5.18 kernel is out. I'm travelling this weekend and can't risk the server crashing while I'm gone, but for those willing... https://github.com/thor2002ro/unraid_kernel/releases

I have an issue open requesting his wizardry.

You need to blacklist the i915 driver. Not sure if that will fix your issue though. I'd ask over in the intel-gpu-top thread.

Weird. Mine crashed the entire server. Since it was an unclean shutdown, I'm now going through a parity check. FML

So 6.10 Final with the 5.18RC7 kernel seems to be a step backwards for me. When enabling the iGPU for Plex, it not only crashed the Plex container, but also crashed the Unraid UI. I had to SSH in and restart the server. edit: That said, the kernel seems to be working fine with the normal CPU transcoding.

Are you saying that iGPU transcoding works?

You do not. Although if you have Intel_gpu_top installed, I don't think that line is required. I think all you need is blacklist=i915. @ich777Is that correct?
