June 19, 20197 yr Hi, this is my first post here so here's hoping I'm in the correct forum. I've been scratching my head for two days now trying to get HW transcoding to work with Plex running as a Docker container. I have an ASRock J4105 miniITX board (integrated J4105 quadcore Celeron with UHD600 iGPU), so QuickSync is supported. I have of course modified my go & syslinux.cfg files to include support for the needed i915 drivers: #!/bin/bash #Setup drivers for hardware transcoding in Plex modprobe i915 chown -R nobody:users /dev/dri chmod -R 777 /dev/dri #Start the Management Utility /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & label Unraid OS menu default kernel /bzimage append pci=realloc=off initrd=/bzroot i915.alpha_support=1 I am passing /dev/dri to the container as a device and the devices are visible inside the container: root@532cd6092721:/# ls -la /dev/dri total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Jun 19 11:05 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 360 Jun 19 11:05 .. crw-rw---- 1 root video 226, 0 Jun 19 11:05 card0 crwxrwxrwx 1 99 users 226, 128 Jun 19 11:05 renderD128 So far all looks good but when I force trasncoding by lowering the stream quality I get no video. It just seems to be buffering endlessly, yet in the dashboard, I can see HW transcoding is ongoing: I have also checked the Plex logs quite extensively and it appears that the transcoder is working fine and is actually using HW acceleration as well.

June 19, 20197 yr With Unraid 6.7.0 you shouldn't need i915.alpha_support=1 in your syslinux.cfg file. The i915 driver has for a while directly supported up to 8th generation Coffee Lake. It doesn't yet support 9th generation Coffee Lake though. Beyond that I'm not sure what would prevent it from working?
June 20, 20197 yr Author Thanks, Taddeusz. I've ommited that from syslinux.cfg and indeed the devices are still present. However no change with HW transcoding, still getting a black screen with the loading indicator The J4015 is 7th gen I guess (Gemini Lake) and I've seen people getting HW transcoding work on Unraid + Docker, as evidenced here: https://forums.plex.tv/t/geminilake-j4105-hw-transcoding-failing-on-win10/229306/2 I think this is probably an issue with Plex itself, was just curious if maybe someone around here has run into a similar issue... EDIT: Just did some more troubleshooting, this is the input of vainfo run inside the container: root@7011518d444b:/# vainfo error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment. error: can't connect to X server! libva info: VA-API version 1.1.0 libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_1 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 vainfo: VA-API version: 1.1 (libva 2.1.0) vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Gemini Lake - 2.1.0 vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSliceLP VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointEncSliceLP VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointEncSliceLP VAProfileH264MultiviewHigh : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264MultiviewHigh : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264StereoHigh : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264StereoHigh : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileVC1Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileNone : VAEntrypointVideoProc VAProfileJPEGBaseline : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileJPEGBaseline : VAEntrypointEncPicture VAProfileVP8Version0_3 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVP8Version0_3 : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileHEVCMain : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileHEVCMain10 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain10 : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileVP9Profile0 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVP9Profile0 : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileVP9Profile2 : VAEntrypointVLD However, as mentioned above, even though all seems to indicate that the transcoder sees the iGPU and is trying to use it, looking at the iGPU utilization through intel-igpu-tools, the device is idle EDIT2: Just tried the official plexinc docker image instead of linuxserver's and it behaves the same.

June 23, 20197 yr I have the same issue in TVheadend with unraid 6.7. Transcoding not working too. I'm using one J4015M board and i lost transcoding after update from Unraid 6.6.6 to 6.7 ( 6.7.1 RC1 / 6.7.2 Rc2 have the same issue.), i reverted back to 6.6.6 and it are working again. So is confirmed that's an Unraid issue, not from Docker conteiners.( TVH and Plex) How cen we try find what are causing it? Best Regards, psycmos
June 25, 20197 yr Author I think our best course of action would be to file a bug report with the unRAID dev team. I don't think this is something that can be fixed by us end users. BTW, has anyone tried if HW transcoding works with 6.7.1? Edited June 25, 20197 yr by switch
June 26, 20197 yr Would like to point out I'm not encountering issues with HW transcoding on my Pentium G4620 iGPU, but I'm using the official Emby docker.
June 27, 20197 yr Author It almost seems to be HW specific, as I've only seen people with the J4105 CPU/UHD600 iGPU have this issue. Your CPU has UHD630 so maybe that could explain why it is working for you?

Your CPU has UHD630 so maybe that could explain why it is working for you?The Intel data sheet on the J4105 is weird. It doesn’t show list QuickSync support but I’ve seen other people that seem to be using it on that CPU. So it’s possible it doesn’t actually have QuickSync.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
June 27, 20197 yr Author It does. I forgot to mention that I got it to work without a hitch on unRAID 6.6.7.
July 1, 20197 yr Has anyone submitted a bug report for this yet? It seems to affect those on 6.7.x and using Plex. Are any older iGPU’s affected (older than the 7th and 8th gen one’s mentioned)?

July 2, 20197 yr Author I will post to the bug reports forum on here and paste a link to the topic when I do. Please make sure to post there as well, more affected users = bigger chance for a fix.
