Hope I don't jinx it but it doesn't crash. You're not disagreeing, you're running the RC kernel. I'm talking about the stock Unraid kernel. It's very likely a Plex bug though, not Unraid, as mine crashed with Plex running even when not transcoding, but with the driver loaded.

Hope I don't jinx it but it doesn't crash. I'm voting for lucky somehow. 6.10 final with the 5.18RC kernel crashed my *entire* server as soon I started a transcoding sync job. I'm running an Alder Lake 12600

To me, I think plex is a large culprit as many people seem to have stability with jellyfin. My server will crash regardless of transcoding as long as igpu is passed through to plex.

I think part of your observation also is that only people who have problems are looking up on this thread and posting. Those who found a solution seldom reply, but the ones who still have a problem with their config are here. For me it seems to work reliable with the 5.18 kernel, although im not a poweruser and encode only between 1 and 3 streams every evening. Plex never ever crashed tho. Hardware specs are i3 12100 (also UHD730), Asrock H610m itx MoBo and 16 gigs of 3200 DDR4 Ram.
June 3, 20224 yr But UHD730 should already supported even with 5.15 Kernel it’s last gen or I am wrong?

My server will crash regardless of transcoding as long as igpu is passed through to plex. I installed the kernel with these instructions Linked /dev/dri device to my docker plex container using the linuxserver variant (lscr.io/linuxserver/plex). I don't have force_probe=i195 in my boot config. I do have "blacklist i915" in /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf I have intel_gpu_top installed. After that I enabled transcoding but left HDR tone mapping disabled. Edited June 8, 20224 yr by Luukholleman
June 7, 20224 yr I'm using binhex-plexpass. I can't imagine that its actually the container that's the issue, but does anyone else have issues with the linuxserver container?

I can't imagine that its actually the container that's the issue, but does anyone else have issues with the linuxserver container? Ok, so did some more testing today: Official Plex Docker thor2002ro 5.18 22020526 Kernel Unraid 6.10.0 Intel_gpu_top installed AND still had modprobe appended in syslinux config. The above config would crash plex and eventually unraid. Linuxserver docker thor2002ro 5.18 22020526 Kernel Unraid 6.10.0 Intel_gpu_top installed AND still had modprobe appended in syslinux config. The above config would crash plex. I didn't try long enough to see if unraid crashed as well. Linuxserver docker thor2002ro 5.18 22020526 Kernel Unraid 6.10.0 Intel_gpu_top installed AND REMOVED modprobe in syslinux config. After removing modprobe from syslinux config plex now transcodes without crashing - only tested a few files that previously crashed plex. So, I don't know if it's the change to the docker container or that I had the modprobe statement still in the config that was causing problems. It's also possible that this is just a fluke and it'll stop working soon. One thing I do notice, when it isn't working correctly: if I watch the GPU statistics plugin, there will be some render load and video load but then the usage will stop, however the power will stay at around 2W. At this point, any attempt to transcode will crash plex. The GPU is also locked at 300 MHz (viewed using intel_gpu_top). So it's as if the GPU is getting stuck and is no longer accessible by anything else. When it's working correctly, there will be render load and video load with power up to 4W. This will turn on and off as it reaches the buffer limit. But the power always goes to zero when it's no longer transcoding. Edited June 7, 20224 yr by michaeldt
June 7, 20224 yr Very interesting.... I recon it might be the modprobe that was appended. causing the issue Are you able to try the PLEX official docker but leave the modprobe removed? Thanks for the testing and sharing the results! 🙂
June 8, 20224 yr I do have the modprobe blacklist. I don't have force_probe in my boot config. Updated my post to reflect that. Edited June 8, 20224 yr by Luukholleman
June 8, 20224 yr @flyize can you please test if Jellyfin is working on your system and not crashing it? Currently I think the ffmpeg version from Plex is the issue...

Plex for sure is behind (or doing weird stuff). Next to transcoding, HDR tonemapping does work for me in emby and jellyfin. Edited June 8, 20224 yr by Luukholleman

I don't know the first thing about Jellyfin, but will try to get it setup. FWIW, I've been monitoring this thread and it seems like the Plex guys have figured out the right ingredients to make Plex work with Alder Lake. https://forums.plex.tv/t/ubuntu-22-04-packaging-development-preview/793355/1

I assume I should grab your "Jellyfin-AMD-Intel-Nvidia" container? EDIT: If so, I get the following error when trying to transcode. I passed in /dev/dri, and enabled QS for the formats specified in your Docker readme. Quote Playback Error This client isn't compatible with the media and the server isn't sending a compatible media format. This was attempted in the browser. I think I've done everything correctly, but I've never used Jellyfin before. Edited June 8, 20224 yr by flyize

June 8, 20224 yr Tried with VAAPI enabled and got the same error. Clearly I'm doing something wrong here. 😐
June 8, 20224 yr From my understanding is it true that if we update kernal and install jellyfin we can transcode hdr movies using igpu ? I'm running i5 2500
