10.15.4 is out. Backup your VMs and give it a go.

Go get you a legit copy of windows and try again. That windows 10 + Office iso that I see you using seem a bit odd. 🤔

BTW plex authentication is down right now so seeing your media right now could be a issue. https://status.plex.tv/

Try to make a linux vm to see if its a windows issue. Try ubuntu or something... Also make sure you windows iso is up to date,

Any reason you did not passthrough the GPU video and sound component? All i see is the video part. Have you tried passing through both?

Are those GPUs uefi compatible? If not good luck passing them through, probably won't work.

Shouldn't the bus on the hostdevs be 1x00 slot 0x00 and the functions be 0x0 thru 0x3?

Hardware decoding is built in Plex now, you just need to turn it on in the transcoder advanced settings. No need to use any old hacks.

Did you make a backup of your clover image? Use a another clover image to boot.

Yes don't use macinbox. You will still need to use those custom args at the bottom of your current VM, and set the VM to use q35 machine type also edit the xml to use the e1000 network adapter instead of the virtio one. But everything else is setting up a VM like usual.

Only thing i can suggest is setting the VM the regular way so you use the stock unRAID OVMF files. Edit...Make sure the bios switch is not set to compute on the GPU.

No ignore the spaces. They should line up with the other lines. I have a 2700x so you should be good with those lines.

You can just edit the xml and add it in. Hit the xml view when editing the VM.

Also @swallace take a look at the first post in this thread. 1.3 talks about all the cpu flags you should really use.

<qemu:arg value='-cpu'/> <qemu:arg value='IvyBridge,vendor=GenuineIntel,+hypervisor,-erms,kvm=on,+topoext,+svm,+invtsc,+fma,+mmxext,+avx,+avx2,+aes,+xsave,+xsaveopt,+ssse3,+sse4_2,+popcnt,+sse4a,+bmi1,+bmi2,+arat,+abm,+3dnowprefetch,+adx,+clflushopt,+cr8legacy,+fsgsbase,+fxsr_opt,+misalignsse,+movbe,+osvw,+pclmuldq,+pdpe1gb,+rdrand,+rdseed,+rdtscp,+sha-ni,+smap,+smep,+vme,+xgetbv1,+xsavec,+perfctr-core'/> Try that instead of what you have in your xml. Make sure the topology line is gone or it will not boot though. I'm using opencore 0.5.6 right now but it should work with clover.

Funny you should say that i have a private repo setup just to keep a history of my config plist changes etc. Its not much but it keeps a history of my changes.

I moved to 0.5.6 today and didn't even add the audio stuff into the config.plist. I remember when it was added to clover back when that's when clover started freezing on boot. Maybe I will try it at some point..

Yes run it

@gzillahow is your GPU performance using those AMD patches? I found the GPU performance to be way below when using the AMD patches and just spoofing the Ivy bridge lead to way better performance out of my GPU.

Maybe a issue with using IvyBridge and 64 threads. Have you tried a lower thread count to see if it boots?

I need to rebase my entire opencore plist as its still kinda based on 0.5.1 but still boots. Lots of changes added but the way clover progress has slowed its probably the best way to go.

Is this a 0.5.5 change becuase i still have those older strings and it boots? Or is this for future 0.5.6? EDIT.... Nevermind i see it in the commit history now....

I though the video=efifb:off line goes before the initrd line. I would stub the GPU as well to make sure the kernel doesn't try to use it. The errors in your VMs log is from the +pcid in the qemu args at the bottom of the xml. You can just delete that one. Guess ryzen does not use it.

You have tried updated whatevergreen to see if it helps?

Have you tried updating clover, WEG and Lilu?
