The easiest way to know if you missed a Public release is to simply look at the release number -OR- use Plex/web which has the “Update” channel notification.
-OR- Plex Media Server (Announcements)
Beta releases – they are “disposable” in many ways.
Yes they are the release candidate
No, they aren’t guaranteed to be the next Public version released
(They can be superseded with fixes if/as needed – which does happen)
The internal (development) builds we did for development & fixing never show up anywhere unless we (individuals) share test builds to confirm problems are resolved.
The only information which does end up coming forward in the release notes is what got fixed. (Usually just the Ticket # and brief description)
In this whole Nvidia / Transcoder fixing process, everyone got a chance to see just how much we build / test / share / rework / test again – all before things go to QA.
Not sure what to say here.
Please do show me where:
If something got left out of the release notes
– Honestly, it wouldn’t be the first time
– Nor will it likely be the last. (being human)
– I will get it fixed. I just need to know so I know where to start looking
What I mean is that, I’m not understanding what is causing this outlying errors (like you ) this far into working on, resolving, and then testing the fixes.
Do me a favor please, Copy/paste the console (terminal) output of:
Additionallly you have 510.47.03 (nvidia-settings) and 525.78.01 on nvidia
It’s mostly there. By comparison, this is what I have

I also have the 10.x development tools but those don’t factor into HW transcoding operation.
I will also add that my CPU is older (E5-2690 v4) so it doesn’t require the HWE kernel. It runs kernel version 5.4 quite happily.
-OR- use Plex/web which has the “Update” channel notification.
