Thanks. I see it. That’s actually macro-blocking caused by the iHD driver.

There is a way around this (permanently).

  1. Install the Synology Text Exitor (package center)
  2. Stop Plex
  3. Open File Station
  4. Navigate into the Plex share / Library / Application Support / Plex Media Server
  5. Right-click “Preferences.xml” -> Open in Text Editor.
  6. Cursor down and to the right until you get to the /> on the last line. You’ll see other information there which you identify as your email address, etc. This is to help confirm you’re on the right line.
  7. Before the /> type VaapiDriver=“i965” (one space before and after)
    a. It will look like VaapiDriver="i965" />
  8. Save the file
  9. Exit the Text Editor
  10. Start PMS.
