@sa2000 Is the development team aware of the artifacting resulting from using hardware acceleration transcoding with integrated intel graphics? I have a bunch of anime content that has subtitles. With the the TVDB scraping set to stop working as of 1/31, this has forced me to upgrade to v1.18.4.2171…

I have an i5-8250u cpu in my Yoga 730. I’ve got the Plex Media Server 1.20.2.3249-085351107 (Windows x86) mentioned in this thread installed. Can someone outline everything I need to do in Plex Media Server (I have Plex Pass) to enable hardware accelerated transcoding using the intel gpu on this lap…

Go into settings, transcoder, and check the boxes [Annotation 2020-09-06 191538]

Done. I don’t know how often I’ll even use transcoding, as all of the files are 720p or 480p .mp4s using 2 channel stereo 128 aac audio. Every now and then an ios device will require transcoding because the Plex client on that device is not set up properly.

@Ridley Do you have an idea when this will make it into the beta build? Cheers!

@Ridley or anyone that knows the answer - when will this make it into the beta build? Thanks

Yeah I just spotted that as well!

I just switched to the Beta channel and checked for this update. Successful update, and early tests still look consistent with the Alpha build that had been previously posted.

Just loaded the latest beta and the Windows Intel transcoding is a lot better. Been poor for while now. The improvement is substantial and greatly appreciated.

Out of curiosity, what’s CPU usage supposed to look like when hw transcoding? I see some GPU usage but CPU still spikes to 100% occasionally. Using ASRock J4105.
