Dislikes: My comfort level with Unraid is low, but gaining more experience with it each day Future Plans: More storage as things fill up Boot (peak): Unmeasured - will post at a later time Idle (avg): Unmeasured - will post at a later time Active (avg): Unmeasured - will post at a later time Light use (avg): Unmeasured - will post at a later time I will add images at a later time. Just completed this build as of a few days ago. So far so good with running Plex with multiple streams/transcodes. I had to manually enable hw transcoding using terminal. More to come as I tinker with this thing... :-)
March 22, 20206 yr What can I do to enable hw in terminal ? Which are the steps ? I made a new unraid with I5-9500 CPU 16GB RAM, plex container , but in some cases plex tells me that "your server isnt fast enough to convert this video " ... WHAT ? Also in system devices ... IOMMU --- CPU is reported as 8rd generation .... I run 6.9.0 - beta with 5.5.8 kernel ....

My Intel i5 9400T is also being detected as an 8th gen processor. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/77943-guide-plex-hardware-acceleration-using-intel-quick-sync/
