Drackeo Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I know I'm beating a dead horse but I've searched both here and the unRAID forums and can't find anything that works for me so my turn. I had this working at one point and it just randomly stopped working. Since I direct play everything in my apartment I haven't noticed any issues but a few of my remote users who do need to transcode things have been complaining lately. I think it's because everything is transcoding directly on the CPU and not using the integrated GPU/QuickSync. I do think I have everything set up correctly but nothing I do seems to get it working again. Can anyone take a peak at the below and let me know what I'm doing wrong/can try? All images are uploaded HERE on Imgur since there are several. But here is a summary: The behavior is whenever someone plays a movie my CPU utilization spikes to like 50 or 60% while the GPU plugin shows 0 activity. Plex also doesn't indicate its hw transcoding just that it's transcoding. Network bandwidth is also all over the place even if playing in my apartment. I do see /dev/dri when I cd to it and I do see the card0 and renderD128 folders when I use LS. I also have the Intel GPU TOP plugin installed. My container extra parameters are this: "--device=/dev/dri --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp,tmpfs-size=20000000000 --no-healthcheck". Any help is appreciated! Thanks Quote Link to comment
Solution Drackeo Posted September 9, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted September 9, 2022 UPDATE: --SOLVED-- Apparently transcoding is broken in the latest release I was using (1.28.2.6151). Updating my repository line to "lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:version-1.28.0.5999-97678ded3” forced the docker container to use a non busted version (1.28.0.5999). Quote Link to comment

I am running 1.28.2.6151 and just forced several local transcodes (normally everything direct plays) and asked a remote user to play some movies. Everything was properly hardware transcoded. My CPU is a Xeon E-2288 (9th generation) so perhaps there are some hardware-specific issues with the latest version of Plex but the issues are not universal. Quote Link to comment

Thanks, this helped me as well, hw transcoding stopped working with the latest docket image update, however this version works fine with my i9-9900k Quote Link to comment
