Did anything change in this version that would affect HW Transcoding? I’ve noticed my CPU usage is bucked at 100% all of a sudden when transcoding a 1080p file to 720p. I have a DS920+ running DSM 7.2 RC

Hi ! Tested the Version 1.32.3.7162 in my Synology DS918+ (J3455), the problem persists.

For those expecting the current Plex Pass to fix the issue - The corrections were not merged into the master CM until last night. What you see in PlexPass predates the correction by a few days. You’re welcome to use the Engineer’s build until the next PlexPass build

Hi @ChuckPa Thank you for your answer. I use PLEX through docker. How do I get the latest image?

Do you know when the new beta with corrections comes for Plex Pass? Maybe as suggestion, a proper beta should come with proper release notes as per feature changes integrated, instead of the package of changes for the final release… Some additional work but brings clarity to clients:-)

The new release will be ‘cut’ on Friday (9-Jun-2023). I’ll be able to grab an alpha-test copy at that point. It will then be in test for 10 days, scheduled PlexPass on 19-Jun-2023 if there’s nothing requiring rework. This build will be scrutinized (I’ll be sharing with folks so we know we have …

Thank you @ChuckPa . The Engineer’s build Version 1.32.5.7145 fixed the hardware transcoding on my DS218+.
