General Discussions

I’m on Plex Media Server 1.9.7.4441, running in a docker container on an Ubuntu Server 16.04, Intel Core i3 6320, 32GB ECC RAM

Getting the following messages in the log:

Does this mean my hardware encoding isn’t working anymore?

That’s a small build script fluke. hybrid_drv_video.so isn’t shipped with Linux.
I alerted the build team about it a few days ago. 1.9.7 was too far along in QA to pull it all back.
It is harmless.

@ChuckPA - Many thanks!

I’m running 1.10.1.4561. I have this issue and hardware acceleration is not working for me.

@“A cool dude”

What distribution and CPU are you running on?

6

Using the official Plex docker on Unraid, CPU is a 2nd gen core i7 2600s.

Docker is preventing PMS from seeing the GPU (/dev/dri) I recommend reading the docker forum. IIRC others have addressed that issue
