TheBrian Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) This is my first time using unraid. My sole goal is to replace an old ESXi system that has been running a Plex VM for the last 5 years. The new system is a MSI A-390 PRO motherboard with a i9-9900k CPU. I can't seem to get hardware transcoding working with the Plex container. Here are the steps I've taken: Enabled the IGPU in the BIOS Appended "i915.alpha_support=1" to the initrd line in syslinux.cfg Appended the modprobe i915 and chmod commands to the go file Added the --device line to the docker config When I manually run "modprobe i915" i see the module being loaded with lsmod, but the device "/dev/dri" doesn't appear. Is the i9-9900k IGPU supported? Any help is appreciated. -Brian Edited November 17, 2018 by TheBrian Quote Link to comment
TheBrian Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) It looks like the GPU in the 9900k is only supported in 4.20+. The top image is from the i915 dev channel I found and the bottom image is from my unraid 6.6.5 system running the 9900k. Any idea when unraid will support kernel 4.20+? Edit: Just came to the sad realization the latest stable kernel is 4.19 . Edited November 17, 2018 by TheBrian Quote Link to comment

TheBrian Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Now that 6.7 is out with kernel 4.19, will we see kernel 4.20 in the next release? Quote Link to comment

TheBrian Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 I just installed the 6.8.0-rc3 release. /dev/dri now appears and the Plex container is using it. The CPU doesn't even blip when I hit it with 3 4k streams, transcoding down to 480p. Fantastic! Quote Link to comment
