    Hello,

     

    is the Problem fixed with the 6.10.0 RC2?

     

    Best regards

    Just updated and testing both JellyFin and Plex, still no dice for me. 

     

    Is there any configuration needed for those who have gotten it working? @ljm42 said he had JellyFin working, but my understanding is that with these RCs we shouldn't need to add anything in config files on the unRAID side - it should work out of the box.

     

    Obviously on the Plex/JF side of things, I have --device=/dev/dri in my extra arguments.

    Thought I'd give an update.
     

    My system has an 11th Gen i9-11900K. In Unraid 6.9.2 (based on Linux kernel 5.10.28), I created this file on the flash:
      config/modprobe.d/i915.conf
    containing this text to activate the experimental i915 drivers for this GPU:
      options i915 force_probe=4c8a
    and Plex was able to do hardware transcoding.


    In some of the earlier private betas of 6.10, this worked as well.

     

    Starting with 6.10.0-rc1 (kernel 5.13.8) Plex was unable to do hardware transcoding on this system (it works on 9th and 10th gen Intel CPUs, just not 11th gen.) Internally today we are up to kernel 5.13.12 and Plex still will not do hardware transcoding on this system. In the 'Plex Media Server.log' it reports:
      TPU: hardware transcoding: enabled, but no hardware decode accelerator found

     

    On the plus side, you no longer need to create an i915.conf file with those custom options, the GPU activates right out of the box.

     

    And an interesting data point, this Jellyfin docker does hardware transcoding beautifully on the 6.10 rc's:

    Now I'm not suggesting that die hard Plex fans need to switch to Jellyfin, I don't intend to. Just saying that the Linux drivers for the latest Intel CPU/GPUs are still in flux and for whatever reason, Jellyfin works with them and Plex does not. I do not know if a future Linux kernel will solve the problem, or if it will take an update from Plex. But I do not have high hopes for the current version of Plex doing hardware transcoding in rc2 on the latest Intel CPUs. 

    Thanks for the update!

  3. Has anyone gotten Rocket Lake S iGPU encoding/decoding to work? I had it working on 6.9.2 stable using i915.force_probe=4c8a into syslinux.conf, however I can't get it working with 6.10RC1. I removed i915.force_probe=4c8a from syslinux.conf since it seems Rocket Lake is now supported; lspci -v now shows RocketLake-S:

     

    6.9.2 lspci -v:

    6.10 RC1 lspci-v:

    I can navigate to /dev/dri and the expected files show up

    and my go file still contains:

     So as far as I can tell, everything should be working, but the iGPU still isn't working in Plex or Jellyfin. Unsure if this is related to a 6.10 RC1 issue or if something is wrong with my configuration.
