I don't want to tear this system apart only to have regrets. The only discussion to the contrary are people who set it up and it initially seems to work (it will work, after all) right up till when the crashing starts. To be absolutely clear, *with the current Unraid 6.10 build*, Plex (and Jellyfin, and Emby) work fine, *so long as you don't pass them the iGPU and/or enable hardware transcoding.* This isn't debated at all. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
jakeshake Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Hello, Thought I might ask opinions here... While I understand there will be errors in most cases; has anyone had luck with overclocking their Unraid Adler Lake box? Even minor bumps and/or just an undervolt to save on electricity? If so can you elaborate? Separately, updated to 6.11 and I see the iGPU is now accessible. Would be nice to hear others experiences with that as well. Quote Link to comment
Wintersdark Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I'm definitely interested in results with the RC builds and hardware transcoding. It should all Just Work, but I don't have time to monkey with stuff if it's not working fully yet. Quote Link to comment

Titan84 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I have an i9-12900K and upgraded yesterday to 6.11-RC1 and so far no issues to report. I have enabled the iGPU in PLEX again but only did a very brief test and transcoding worked for me without crashing. I did have HDR Tone mapping set to off and did a basic test on a 1080p movie. I know its still hit and miss at the moment so have turned HW transcoding off for the moment until PLEX release their new version and some more fixes in PMS 1.28.1 or 1.28.2. At least we are moving forward and now we have the Linux Kernel updated to the version we need. Now we wait for PLEX to catch up 😞 1 1 Quote Link to comment

flyize Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Just so we're all clear here... Jellyfin + Unraid 6.10 (or later) = Works Jellyfin + Unraid 6.10 (or later) + iGPU = Works Plex + Unraid 6.10 (or later) = Works Plex + Unraid 6.10 (or later) + iGPU = Does not work 1 3 Quote Link to comment

This helps with clearing up the confusion. And the Plex problem is in Plex's arena to fix, right? Or are we waiting for a kernel fix for unRaid or both? Quote Link to comment
jbrukardt Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Claims on reddit that 6.11.0-RC1 is working fine with iGPU + plex + transcoding. Based on kernel 5.18.14 (CVE-2022-21123 (CVE-2022-21123 CVE-2022-21125 CVE-2022-21166) Quote Link to comment

feraay Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 For me it’s working 12900k plex official container and 6.11 rc 1 hw transcoding on but hdr tone mapping off did not test hdr tone mapping 1 day now no crash tested a few movies no problems here 1 1 Quote Link to comment
xXx Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I have tried 6.11 Rc1 and the latest official plex version. My IGPU (12600), I have some crash problem, which is NOT 100% compatible Quote Link to comment

I've found that's the best stress test. I think you'll find that it crashes. Edited July 28, 2022 by flyize 1 Quote Link to comment

Nothing special here also no errors in system log. watched the Plex dashboard while transcoding for mobile download cpu usage at 2 percentage so it’s definitely hw transcoding. I did not test hdr tone mapping till now but normal transcode works. why so incredulous? Edited July 28, 2022 by feraay 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Its just there are very few settings for us to change, so it seems odd that it would work for you and not for me. Can you run intel_gpu_top while you're transcoding to ensure that's what is happened? For the record, I just tried to transcode/download a video to my phone using RC2. Plex crashed within about a minute. It restarts, so you might not even notice it if you weren't looking in the Docker logs. Edited July 28, 2022 by flyize 1 Quote Link to comment
feraay Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Oh Ok I know what u mean. I have no intel gpu top installed. I can check my syslinux conf and post here give me 30 minutes. I will download again a movie to phone and check logs. will report back 😅 ok I have still settings from 6.10 testing in my conf append initrd=/bzroot i915.force_probe=4680 i915.enable_guc=2 completely forgot about it. @ich777 told me to set it i guess. And I have not changed it till then. Edited July 28, 2022 by feraay Quote Link to comment
flyize Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) i915.enable_guc=2 could be the difference. Can you remove that and retest? edit: And if you install intel_gpu_top, you can remove the force_probe as well. edit: Or hey, maybe its intel_gpu_top that is somehow causing the issue. Either way, if yours is working, it would be awesome for you to try to change what little we can and see if it stops working. Edited July 28, 2022 by flyize Quote Link to comment

On 6.11 you dont need to blacklist the driver or force_probe any more as looks like support is now in the base driver and Unraid will load as default. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
