    Hi There,

    Whether this configuration has been and still is working perfectly well for my all the content of my plex / unraid server since a bit more than a year now, leveraging my intel UHD630 integrated GPU from my Intel Coffee Lake Core i5-9600K for transcoding 1080p flawlessly to whatever needed.

    Now it seems that 4K transcode with tone mapping is (at least) available from Plex and it can leverage Coffee Lake or newer GPU assist to make it happening:

    https://support.plex.tv/articles/hdr-to-sdr-tone-mapping/

     

    Reading this post, it seems linux/unraid/docker/intel is supported for HW transcode, so I followed the recommended path:

    • Upgrade to UNRAID OS VERSION 6.9.0-BETA35
    • Create the specified /boot/modprobe.d/i915.conf empty file
    • Reboot
    • Install last plex pass version (Version 1.21.0.3616), which is easy using linuxserver/plex,
    • Enable "Enable HDR tone mapping" option and double check that "Enable Hardware Transcode" option is still checked
    • Check the deployment of the required “libOpenCL” library and “Beignet” GPU driver in my Plex container, and they were:
      • beignet-opencl-icd is already the newest version (1.3.2-7build1).
      • ocl-icd-libopencl1 is already the newest version (2.2.11-1ubuntu1). 

    Now while hardware transcode still works for 1080p content, it seems that it goes back to software mode for 4K, as I see no GPU use in my intel-gpu-tools container, and about 80% of CPU use for a single 4K stream content, which is understandable in software mode.

    I'm a bit surprised as 4K hardware transcode is working well if I disable tone mapping, so it's not just a configuration issue from unraid/docker/plex but it looks more like a plex or driver issue.

     

    Well my simplest bet is to wait and see and expect an update probably coming from Plex side, but at least if someone has a comment, feel free to do so....

    Currently having the exact same issue thought I had messed up somewhere as I was only trying 4k movies and was only standard transcode no HW but then tried 1080p and thats hw transcoding... running i3 10100.... dont know where to go from here

  2. Hi still on trial for unraid all is great apart from transfer speeds to and from pc... which is obviously quite an issue.

    Both pc and server are wired via realtek 2.5Gbe to Netgear Nighthawk SX-10.

    Currently running the beta as its the only one to natively support the realtek lan

     

    I would expect over 100MBs reads on the network as my previous NAS netgear Readynas 214 handled it just fine and that was 1Gbe?

     

    I have attached some pictures and upload the diagnostics file, any help would be apricated before I take the plunge and buy :)

     

    UPDATE: Reading from the Cache is Fine 200+ MBs and little cpu use, but reading from the array spikes all the cores to near full and is slow around 66MBs
