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

Thank you @FordGuy61 . No rush or anything, it is just I have been absent for a few days and I thought that the new release would have been released yesterday, 18th.

Watch / subscribe to the PMS announcement thread (added link to my previous post). It includes beta releases. There should be something mentioned in the release notes when a fix is available. FYI, current beta mentions a transcoder fix for “older Intel GPUs.” That is for 3rd & 4th generation Cor…

Is there reason to believe this fixes Gemini Lake too? I have a DS920+ (Intel Celeron J4125). I’m still on an older pre-break version of PMS. But I’ve been waiting to update my DSM from 7.1 to 7.2 until after this gets fixed because my Plex docker image will auto-update with a reboot.

I will test Gemini Lake later… and have provided logs above if still needed. Edit: Not that the releases notes advised this was fixed for Gemini Lake, but confirmed it’s not. [2023-06-20_18-39-34] [2023-06-20_18-39-46]

@CT9AJ Really appreciate the testing here, thank you. I’m a DS720+ user so also awaiting the Gemini lake fixes. Until then I’m using the engineer build Version 1.32.5.7145.
