Hello, hopefully someone had run into these errors and can give me some help troubleshooting them. I have Plex on a TrueNAS Scale server, the video card is in an Asrock x570D4U motherboard. I have an active Plex Pass and my transcoding is turned on, but never works. My console throws these errors:

[Req#243c/Transcode] Codecs: testing hevc (decoder) with hwdevice vaapi

[Req#f6a/Transcode] Codecs: hardware transcoding: testing API vaapi for device ‘/dev/dri/renderD128’ (Intel DG2 [Arc A310])

[Req#19d6/Transcode] [FFMPEG] - Failed to initialise VAAPI connection: -1 (unknown libva error).

[Req#19d6/Transcode] Codecs: hardware transcoding: opening hw device failed - probably not supported by this system, error: I/O error.

lsgpu returns:

truenas\_admin@Pounce[~]$ lsgpu  
card0 Intel Dg2 (Gen12) drm:/dev/dri/card0  
└─renderD128 drm:/dev/dri/renderD128

So I know it’s there. Plex seems to be trying to access it and just isn’t. How do I go about troubleshooting this?

Did I ask this in the wrong forum?
