Hardware Transcoding broken when burning subtitles ApolloLake-based Synology NASes

So far this issue appears to be limited to NAS’s with an Apollo Lake processor.

As a stop gap, could those affected please try the following;

SSH into your NAS and then remove the new Intel Media Driver (iHD)

rm "/volume1/@appstore/Plex Media Server/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so"

this will cause PMS to fallback to the older Intel VA-API driver (i965_drv_video.so) for HW transcoding.

please let us know if this resolves your burning subtitles issue.
