I made a separate thread here but its not specifically for NUCs.
Anyone has a clue on how to download the latest beta/preview version ?
The link seems broken ;(
Use the Plex Pass beta from plex.tv. It now has Xe graphics support.

Yes, it’s working for me
Yes, it seems to work
Only remaining issue is on HDR tone mapping, but I guess it’s because it’s still not supported on all hardwares ?
Yes, mostly, and BIG thanks for that.
The HW support for decoding/encoding is working as expected, outside of HDR tone-mapping that is crashing.
Can hardware supported HDR tone-mapping from the new architecture (see HDR10 TM in the page) be evaluated for a new PMS version?
Also, recent releases of OpenCL Runtime won’t come with ocloc library anymore.
So the installer is reporting it as missing.
I don’t really know if it’s still needed.
If the installer is reporting as missing when it’s not , I can now correct that given it’s finalized.
If you ignore the installer’s warnings , which are still based on the older transcoder, does it work ?
If it does, do I only need remove ocloc ?
Please explain ? tone mapping is “crashing” ?
Running Ubuntu 21.10, Intel Nuc 11 with Xe graphics. PMS version 1.25.0.5246.
Confirmed Intel drivers are installed as per support page.
Enable HDR tone mapping checked.
4K HDR transcode is handled in hardware initially, then after a minute, dumps the work load to software.
Enabled HDR tone mapping unchecked.
4K HDR transcode hardware acceleration works perfectly with zero issues.
@Drunken015 How do you update to and confirm that you’re running on the latest Intel drivers? On 20.04 LTS specifically.
sudo apt install ocl-icd-libopencl1 beignet-opencl-icd
Thank you!
I’m not getting any crashes, and hardware acceleration seems to be working, but whenever transcoding 4k HDR, my logs show:
linuxserver-plex | (If you have multiple ICDs installed and OpenCL works, you can ignore this message)
linuxserver-plex | beignet-opencl-icd: no supported GPU found, this is probably the wrong opencl-icd package for this hardware
This is Ubuntu 20.04 / Plex 1.25.0.5246 with dependencies installed as outlined here: HDR to SDR Tone Mapping | Plex Support

Is there any estimate on when PMS 1.25.0.5246 will leave beta and be released publicly?

Also interested when the official release will happen! I’m patiently waiting for the docker release to take advantage of this functionality.
Unfortunately not.
I am using the official docker container (plexpass version and /dev/dri is passed through). It used to work with old CPU) and it just installed 1.25.0.5282. I have 12600k and transcoding has some issues:
It seems the transcoder keeps crashing and in dmesg I see:

I am running kernel 5.16.0-rc2 on Ubuntu 20.04.3 if that matters. I have updated the host’s graphics stack from https://repositories.intel.com/graphics/ubuntu in case that matters but to me it seems that the container has it’s own libraries (libva, iHD).
I’m happy to help to gather more information if that would help you in root causing this.
Hello, this topic is about Tiger Lake (Gen 11 CPU) and you’re running Alder Lake, Gen 12
Plex took near a year to be Gen 11 compliant, so i hope you will not wait the same.
I just received my tiger lake box and plan to instal ubuntu 20.04.3 (5.11 kernel), do you know if i need to upgrade the kernel (last is 5.15) to be fine with the beta ?
tks
PMS 1.25.0.5246 is working great on 1165G7 for hardware transcoding on Debian 11 with 5.10 kernel. I have tested with over 10 simultaneous transcodes with no issues.
Using HW tone mapping causes transcoding to fall back to software, but I think that was stated as expected some messages ago.
Thanks for all your efforts on this Plex team!
Tks for the kernel info.
Not sure that fall back to software (some people even reported crash) when activate ToneMapping is an expected behaviour. Understood that as a bug
Just got my i5-1135G7 and install fresh plex 1.25.0.5282 on ubuntu 20.04.3
Everything seems ok and transcode is fast.
One strange thing, Tonemapping enable or not i can’t see any differences in color when transcoding a 4k content.
Color is ok in both case. Like TM enable whatever you do
With my old box (Skylake) i was able to see desaturated color when tonemapping was disable.
