Does anyone have a guide on enabling intel quick sync igpu transcoding for plex?

I can’t figure it out. I was able to find instructions but I’m not sure if they’re still relevant because they’re from a while ago.

Thank you!

Still relevant except the way i915 is handled in recent versions of unRAID eliminates the need to edit the "go" file with modprobe.   For versions of unRAID from 6.9.0 and onward see the release notes for how a particular version of unRAID deals with i915.  Here are the 6.9.0 release notes for example.  I am still using the "touch" method to load i915.

 

Other than that, the same things still apply for using QuickSync transcoding in Plex.

Thanks a lot! So just curious: I added Name: /dev/dri Value: /dev/dri to plex without adding 

chmod -R 777 /dev/dri in the console. It shows hw transcoding but is it actually not working? Also is there not hw transcoding for audio? That's really messing up my streaming for some reason.

Do you see the (hw) by the source and destination formats when you think it should be transcoding?  Also you can look in the Sessions folder under your designated transcoding location and you should see files being created there as bits are transcoded.

Audio transcoding in Plex is always in software (CPU) but it should not use much CPU.

Yep, it does show hw by both! Weird because I didnt add chmod -R 777 /dev/dri in the CLI. Seems like it's running pretty nicely although it does load a bit slower with the audio transcoding.
