I'm having trouble getting hw transcoding to work again after upgrading the version of Plex I am using. For background, I was using a very old version of the Plex app in Unraid as I saw no reason to update, not until recently when it became incompatible with the mobile app. Before updating, I was able to use hw transcoding all the time including remote plays. Since the update, it hasn't worked once. I even tried titles I know worked before, so I'm a bit baffled. My server has an Intel 5775C processor with Iris Pro 6200 iGPU. I've made sure the Docker setup is as per the guides and also have checked the right options within the Plex app itself. Looking at the logs, the only warning I get is "Critical: libusb_init failed". Any help would be appreciated, as having a working iGPU transcoding was a big win for my setup and use case.

Just to follow up on this in case anyone stumbles on it in the future - the Windows install was dead and I wasn't able to recover it. Not an Unraid issue but I suspect not shutting down the VM properly from within Windows when doing server restarts or shut downs likely sealed it's fate. Lesson learnt - keep backups!

I'm hoping that isn't the case but we'll see. I appreciate the responses

So I tried that earlier today but the problem vdisk wouldn't appear as a drive. Will give it another try when I can as it is likely I needed to do a couple of steps to get it to appear

@itimpi any advice on how to point the repair at the right img? Tried as you suggested, but when I got to the cmd prompt in the Windows repair I couldn't run any commands to initiate the repair? Sorry if this is bit beyond Unraid but kicking myself for not backing things up properly.

I'll give it a try, thanks

I have been having trouble with on of my Unraid Windows VMs. I usually have this running 24/7 and access it via Parsec, which has been fine for years. But yesterday couldn't access it suddenly. I disabled the gpu acceleration and then when viewing it via VNC, I get the Windows BSOD with the error message "windows unmountable boot volume". Have tried passing through a USB thumbdrive with Windows install media to try to do a repair, as I would do with a standalone Windows install, but the VM doesn't seem to register it. Don't want to delete the VM and start again, mostly as I run a game server on the VM and it isn't backed up (yes, not the smartest move). Any advice on how to recover this? Thanks
