Server Version#: 1.43.1.10540 Player Version#: After updating to the last beta version, version 1.43.1.10540 , GPU (hardware) transcoding no longer worked for me. I am on unraid, running Hotio docker container running on a Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 265K with build in IGPU with quicksync. When I rollba…

This will be included in 1.43.2

Thank you for the self-correction - that’s actually helpful context, because it rules out the “no play attempt” explanation. I made multiple play attempts on the fresh container, and also watched the logs from the moment the container started. The imd package download never fired at any point - not …

Your observations match mine. The driver isn’t downloaded and the log output is quite minimal. But I’m on a 6.8 kernel with the i915 driver in use. So, it seems unlikely that’s xe vs i915 is the root of the issue.

It also narrows things considerably. If the probe fails regardless of which kernel driver is active,…

Thank you :heart::heart_hands:t3:

Coming from one of the merged threads, I read this thread to try to understand how these problems are related. I ran two clean sequential tests - same fresh config directory, same hardware (Intel Core Ultra 7 255H, Arrow Lake-P, PCI 8086:7d51, kernel 6.17 with xe driver active), same Docker setup. S…

Just chiming in here. Running Ultra 5 245k and getting the same result.
