Plex Media Server Plex Pass Betas

Server Version#: 1.32.3.7162-b0a36929b
Player Version#:all
System: Apple M1 Max, Mac Studio
Host OS: macOS 13.4

Plex Server is not able to start transcoding if hardware encoder is enabled.
If hardware encoding is disabled, transcoding is ok.

Returned to server Version 1.32.3.7089 and hardware encoding is ok. So there seems
to be a bug in the actual beta.

I am unable to reproduce it on my M1 Max MacBook Pro. Do you mind providing your Plex Media Server logs after attempting to hardware transcode on the latest release ( 1.32.5.7210-77f7f99fa) ?

I am also unable to reproduce it with the latest release.
Hardware Transcoding is now working again.
There has not been a restart of the server since I wrote the post above (but restarted several times during investigation why the transcoding was not working).
So probably it was somehow fixed in the latest release.
