I recently watched the video by spaceinvaderone about changing plex files from x264 to 265. I purchased an Intel B570 to use with Tdarr . I installed the GPU stats plugin and the Intel TOP plugin and then installed the GPU into the machine. for some reason it puts me into a boot loop for a while with an error about my sata controller card unless I plug and unplug an hdmi into the video card.

I am not sure if this is the heart of my issue but I think it might be. When I do get unraid to launch it doesnt seem to recognize the GPU correctly.

But it at least sees the card and knows what it is:

I have been trying this fix that is suggested to be the most common but I cannot find the intel_top_command_timeout in the settings page for GPU stats

If anyone can talk to me like I am 5 years old and tell me what I am doing wrong I would really appreciate it.

It's a battlemage GPU, you'll need to either use a 3rd party "Thor's Kernel" or wait until unraid is on 6.18 LTS kernel.

B-Series Intel GPUs were not added into the linux kernel until around 6.14 and unraid is currently using 6.12. Since unraid sticks to the Long Term Support kernels for stability, your GPU will not function until this is added in, in a later update.

The good news is 6.18 was recently promoted to LTS. It is likely (speculative - my opinion) that we see lime tech release unraid 7.3 with the 6.18 kernel, the bad news is OpenZFS needs to update their stuff to support 6.18 before unraid can use it.

We wont get 6.18 in unraid until zfs gets added to 6.18 since unraid also ships zfs

I've had an Intel A310 working well with Tdarr in Unraid and thought that the B580 would be supported, so bought one, only to find out that they are not yet supported.
The A310 is amazing for AV1 encoding but slow. I stupidly sold the A310 the day I got the B580 and now I'm left with no ability to encode or decode AV1 in hardware.

A question to @MowMdown . Are the A750 and A770 cards supported without any issues?

Yes the A-series ARC gpus are fully supported. Also they all have the same number of media-engines so you wont get any performance difference between an A310 and an A770.

Edit: Most modern hardware should support AV1 decoding.
