ERROR - [FFMPEG] - No VA display found for device: /dev/dri/renderD128

Hi, getting the above error whenever I try to do any HW Transcoding. This has worked fine in the past on the same hardware. Nothing special or tweaked about the setup

Server Version#: Version 4.116.1

Any ideas appreciated!

Cheers

We do not support Mint. It’s too unstable.

Manifestations like what you’re showing me here are why.

Thanks for response, I’m not sure I agree with Mint being unstable but understood.

For anyone who finds this issue, I added user Plex is running as to groups render and video and restarted server and seems to be working again.

Cheers,
