Can Jasper Lake N6005 use hardware transcoding?

I have successfully gotten plex hardware transcoding working on the beeling u59 intel Intel 11th Jasper Lake Processor N5095. Check it out!

This is what I had to do:

  • Install Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • Update & Upgrade
  • Upgrade the kernel to the latest 5.13 build (5.13.19-051319-generic as of today) using method 1 on this guide. (be careful copy pasting commands off that site, they don’t always work)
  • Installing the latest intel drivers from here (I don’t know if this is required, but it’s one of the steps I took)
  • Updating /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf with the following contents
options i915 force_probe=4e55
options i915 enable_guc=2
  • Rebuilding initrd by running the following:
sudo update-initramfs -u

*Reboot and test

I hope that helps anyone with similar problems.

Thanks @ChuckPa for helping out so much! Question, on some intel site I saw that i915 enable_guc=2 was for pre gen 10 intel processors, why does it work here?

Thanks again!
