Hey there, I’ve read a lot of comments stating that Plex HW transcoding can not be made to work with the vaapi APIs exported by AMD APUs with integrated graphics. This is true, at least looking at how Plex sets things up out of the box. Manually copying over the libva drivers for AMD GPUs plus rel…

Thanks, I will give that tag a try. I had switched back to the pms-docker image because it gets pushed more frequently. The plexpass tag on Dockerhub hasn’t been pushed for two years, which isn’t a big deal for the Plex server itself since it installs itself at run time, but the underlying OS, kerne…

Oh? News to me. sudo docker run \ -d \ --name plex \ --network=host \ -e PLEX_CLAIM="claim-J3YbuBpaBhE9oJS1jsma" \ -e TZ="EST" \ -e LANG="en_US.UTF-8" \ -e PLEX_UID=1000 \ -e PLEX_GID=1000 \ -e PUID=1000 \ -e PGID=1000 \ -h dockerplex \ -v /sata/dockerplex:/config \ -v /sata/dockerplex/tmp:/tmp \…

Sorry, yes. That image and tag exists, but there have been no updates to that tag in Dockerhub for 2 years. [image]

i don’t handle releasing / pushing of packages. I will ask

No worries, thanks! I will try out the beta version from there as you suggested.

nice I see Cezanne and it is working in the web player. This is awesome! Thanks so much to you and the team for getting this working!!

Working on my Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G as well (shows up as “Renoir” under “Hardware transcoding device”. Although, I think there might be a bottleneck somewhere. My CPU load hovers at around 4 to 6 when playing a 4K file (about 50%, as the 4650G has 12 threads), but the playback stops and resumes every t…

[image] ericswpark: I wonder if it is the HDR tone map checkbox being enabled that is causing the stroppy playback. Turn HDR OFF!!! – then retest. There are no MESA or Vulkan drivers to do the tone mapping. As a result, you’re getting tone mapping in software. We will get HDR tone map…

Retested with HDR off and the stroppy playback went away. Thank you so much! It’s actually crazy – a 4K transcode from 80 Mbps down to whatever screen size the device had always maxed out the CPU (load 12). Now I barely get any load (1.52) going from 80 Mbps down to 20.
