I have a fresh Arch install on an Intel N100. I’ve tested acceleration in VLC and Firefox and Intel is chugging away. However, I cannot get any hardware support in any Plex apps. I have tried both Snap and Flatpak and only get software decoding. I am including the output for PlexDesktop and PlexHTPC on flatpak.
