I tried switching over to the official one and I can't even start the setup on that one. It just says that it can't connect to it. I'm useless. LOL
June 9, 20224 yr It only remains to wait for UnRAID (KERNEL) + PLEX to be compatible with intel 12... patience everything will come... Edited June 13, 20224 yr by xXx
June 10, 20224 yr I'm on 6.10.2-rc3 with an i7-12700k. I'm not interested in Plex transcoding, I made the hardware upgrade so I could transcode content for archival storage and I finally decided to take the jump and try it all out tonight. I've ran echo "blacklist i915" > /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf , installed Intel GPU Top + GPU Statistics, and installed Unmanic with the device specified in extra parameters. I have a task set up for hevc_vaapi (INTEL/AMD), hevc_qsv (Intel) and libx265 (CPU) to test things out. I thought I was going to have to install the new kernel to get results but I did a little initial test before I intended to do this and got results from all three. I only saw activity on GPU statistics for the vaapi/qsv tasks and to confirm this when I removed the /dev/dri device from the extra parameters those two tasks failed. It seems beyond doubt that I am transcoding with hardware. Am I good? Will I get better performance through being on the new kernel? Is something going to not work that would work if I was on the newer kernel? What's happening? So I'm not interested in transcoding in Plex, what I want to do is use transcode content for archival storage with something like unManic, Tdarr, etc. I've never actually passed through any GPU to anything in Unraid and

June 13, 20224 yr Well I thought I may just get lucky with my mobo CPU combination but it wasn't to be so I will heed the advice from now on and wait ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-12600K official Plex app crashes Unraid almost immediately on transcode.

June 16, 20224 yr is it just plex that crashes alderlake iGPU? I have a 12600k, but mainly interested in using my iGPU for VMs, tdarr, etc. as 95% of my plex streams are direct play. Can anyone comment on unRAID stability when plex is not configured to use the iGPU?
June 16, 20224 yr Handbrake has previously caused a container lockup or encoding failure for me, but Plex is the only one that seems to take the whole show down in my experience.

June 16, 20224 yr thanks everyone! Got it working! To help out @ich777, I installed JellyFin - seems to be transcoding a 4k movie great through the first 10 mins of playback so far (30% transcode progress though). Edited June 16, 20224 yr by derek_zoolander
June 16, 20224 yr I installed IntelGPUTop again and Jellyfin, system crashed some 18 hours in *without* transcoding (Plex does this too)
June 16, 20224 yr update: jellyfin did end up crashing eventually with this in the log. Not sure if its related or anything as there was no active transcode occuring, however playback may have been occurring in the browser (I was letting movies run in the background). UnRAID remained stable throughout though 16:47:41] [FTL] [65] Main: Unhandled Exception System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range.

Currently I think the ffmpeg version from Plex is the issue... I believe this too. On the chinese forums they have stability with jellyfin. Have had it since RC4. And the only thing they did was replicate what was previously discussed in the forum and follow the brief guide I threw togeather on what i did. Edited June 30, 20224 yr by Cajones spelling
June 23, 20224 yr So in theory the recent Plex Pass version has the newest Alder Lake fixes. I haven't tested it, but along with the 5.18 kernel, it *might* work.
June 24, 20224 yr I thought it is already known for long that the current Plex containers are using a broken intel compute runtime (that's why they removed the automatic update of the runtime for the new Plex pass version) https://forums.plex.tv/t/4k-hdr-hardware-transcode/765846/36 You can try the new kernel with this Plex container lsiodev/plex:amd64-1.25.2.5319-c43dc0277-pkg-c2e7263a-dev-2f08980441f26b55db4d95db8ee42c958882cc36 which is using an older compute runtime which is not broken

Wish that was more reasonably priced without hassles. If you want 4k HEVC transcodes, and no transcode limit... Fairly significant money for capability you already have
