No such file or directory plex what to do?

[-JV-]

Hallo  trying to get my server up, and now im trying to get Plex up and runing. but i got this problem.

 

I cant see the "use hardware acceleration when available" and "Use hardware acceleration video encoding"

 

So in that video i need to go into f root and type cd /dev/dri

But when i do that it says  No such file or directory

I can see that im not the only with with this problem, but cant get it to work. 

Can someone tell me what to do?

Have you purchased a Plex Pass?  It is required for hardware transcoding or these options are not available.

 

Are you trying to use a an intel IGPU with Quicksync?

 

If so, follow this guide:

 

 

Are you trying to use an Nvidia GPU in a PCIe slot?

 

If so, follow this guide:

Yes, of course free Plex will allow you to stream movies. Hardware transcoding is among the features that require Plex Pass. You can still install and use a Plex on UnRAID to store and stream your media but transcoding will be software (CPU) only and it will not use your GPU.

I recently installed Plex (on Windows box) - for a very specific purpose, as Plex sucks - and found that after a few days it quit allowing transcodes to 1080p, and instead forced everything down to 480p until I picked up a Plex Pass.
