Good morning Folks,

I got a new Intel 7 265K iGPU and I cannot get it to work on plex or even show up in the dashboard. I have installed "Intel Graphics SR-IOV", "GPU Statistics", and "Intel GPU TOP". I had a Nvidia plugin and an AMD card but I have removed both of them and also removed the plugin for Nvidia. However, I can get the iGPU to work and show up correctly in GOU statistics, see screenshot below.

Can someone please help me figure out why /dev/dvi/ does not exist and how to get it to work with other containers like Plex. I know I have to use Extra Parameters in the container but I can't as the container does not starts and fails. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Looks like I was not totally wrong; full support requires a newer kernel, other user is falling back to the i915 driver, maybe different BIOS or BIOS options are enabled.

You can try to forcibly enable the Xe driver by adding these kernel boot options:

xe.force_probe=7d67 i915.force_probe=!7d67

You may also want to try first without those options just after removing the i915 sr-iov plugin

I just removed it and the GPU statistics still shows the same.

Try the kernel options to see if it loads the xe driver.

Where do I add this Kernel boot options? What file do I need to modify on the USB Flash Drive?

Click on the flash drive, scroll down to the Syslinux configuration section, make sure Menu View is enabled, and add after /bzroot to the default boot option, the one in green.

It should be added to the same line as /bzroot, just leave a space between that and the kernel option, then reboot and retest.

The end result should be something like this correct. Also, once 7.3.0 beta comes out, should I take out what I just added since the new kernel should work then?

kernel /bzimage

append pcie_acs_override=downstream,multifunction isolcpus=0-1 initrd=/bzroot xe.force_probe=7d67 i915.force_probe=!7d67

Correct for both.

So I did what you mentioned and I see the GPU statistics in the dashboard. However, when I try to use the transcode in plex, it says transcoding but in the GPU statistics shows nothing.

Plex is using CPU to transcode here.

The absence of it showing "(hw)" next to the video is a key indicator

Correct. I wonder why it is not using it when I have it setup the way some guides in here said to make it work. Very strange.

Likely need to wait until the next unraid release when they introduce the new LTS kernel

Best to wait for 7.3, first beta shoudl be out very soon.

@JorgeB so on 7.2.4 and 7.2.5 it was working of the I915. However, It stopped working once I got to 7.3.0. Here is the newest support file. I wonder we have to change something since now the newest kernel should see the Intel 265K IGPU? Do we have to removed something we did prior to 7.3.0 to make it work now?

You need to have the beta version of Plex to use the XE driver

I do have the betta version, It was working before.

Should this say XE Drivers?

I previous post I saw that XE was being used and Jorge mentioned the kernel options. I think it is worth trying XE.

Do you happen to know where I go to disable I915 one enable XE drivers? I didn't see it on my GO file.

In system drivers it says is IN USE.

I also see this. Is set to None, It has an option to 7 but I don't know what that means? Will it create 7 new IMMOU groups for the IGPU which I can use? No idea.

Before you applied it here, on 7.3 it is called boot parameters in settings. And you can set to raw mode to make the edits. But I would do via system drivers

tools->system drivers click the pencil to edit, change the vlaue and press the disk to save.

For your gpu in the i915 driver add

options i915 force_probe=!7d67

in XE driver

options xe force_probe=7d67

Once you have updated these it will required a reboot.

Thank you for the how to. It now looks like it loaded the XE Drivers. However, the Plex Container is still using CPU for transcoding.

I do see my Jellyfin using it. What in the world is going on with the plex container.
