    Great find, thanks! How did you find out about it? Google doesn't find much about the iHD_drv_video.so driver on the Plex forums. Have you reported the issue to the Plex devs? If so, is there a thread that you can link me to so I can +1 it? :)

    It's hidden away in their forum somewhere as a workaround.. I'll report back if I find it again!

    For those of you interested in how to fix this: The PMS 1.18.1 branch includes a new driver that breaks Hardware Transcoding for Apollo Lake Intel CPUs.

     

    In Linuxserver.io's docker image this is located at /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so

     

    Just delete iHD_drv_video.so and transcoding will work again.

    [6.7.x] Intel iGPU Hardware Transcoding does not work with Plex + Docker

    in Stable Releases

    @rix Are you using Plex to test this? I ask because there is currently a bug in their Quick Sync code that affects 8th Gen CPU’s. It’s supposed to be fixed in the latest beta but that version is not available on their Docker container and it’s not yet released.

    Could you link me to their thread about this? This could likely be the remaining issue.

     

    Would love to close my bug report in this forum!

    Hi all, this looks an aweful lot like my issue (that has only started after upgrading to 6.8 RC4 from 6.7).

    I tried applying the syslinux line as follows: 

    default menu.c32
menu title UNRAID
prompt 0
timeout 50
label Unraid OS
  menu default
  kernel /bzimage
  append intel_iommu=off initrd=/bzroot
label Unraid OS GUI Mode
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui
label Unraid OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI)
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode
label Unraid OS GUI Safe Mode (no plugins)
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui unraidsafemode
label Memtest86+
  kernel /memtest

    Hardware transcoding is now starting again, as it did on 6.7.2, but the video is extremely glitched and blocky (unwatchable).

     

    Anyone else with a J4105 having the same issue on 6.8?

    Why is this marked as urgent?

    I don't see any core functionality broken

    I edited the post accordingly.

    This was already reported for v6.7, and there's a workaround:

    Thanks for the helpful comment - this looks an awful lot like my issue, but the workaround is not working for me. Also note, that Quicksync was working fine with 6.7 for me.

    Couple of times I've seen you post this.  Is there a problem that say my Update Assistant should look for?  Since he was coming from 6.5.3, I thought that an old version of dynamix.plg shouldn't attempt to load since it checked for OS versions.  (Only really ancient versions didn't check the OS version)

    see below:

    I had to delete the dynamix.plg file as well.  I was getting the "File not found" error when trying to access the web GUI of the server.  I deleted the file, rebooted and then I was able to connect.  I too was updating from 6.5.3.

    Me too (see page 1).. would highly recommend you automate this file removal.. I have upgraded continuously starting with 6.3, and this file seems to have stuck around. Seems highly likely I am not the only one.

    Try the following:

     

    With Unraid 6.5.3 installed change the theme to "white" (as you probably already did)

    Upgrade to Unraid 6.6.0-rc1 and the default white theme should be replaced by the new theme.

     

    GUI is tested and confirmed to be working on all major browsers.

    Firefox 61.0.2 is working fine.

    Thanks for your fast replies.. using safe mode it works perfectly fine.

     

    It must be one of my plugins. How do I best debug this?

    Firefox,... am currently trying something: I moved back to 6.5.3 (powerdown -r and the flash share were my friend), and set the theme to "white".

     

    I was using the azure theme, since it came up.

     

    Should also help to just set theme to "white" in the /flash/config/plugins/dynamix/dynamix.cfg, as a workaround without required reboots.
