Hardware Transcoding issues - ApolloLake & GeminiLake CPUs

[pommesmatte]

@ChuckPa

Please reinstall 1.32.8

Verify DEBUG logging is on

Tell me whether you have “VaapiDriver=” options in your Preferences.xml file.
( It is URGED you remove them now as of 1.32.8 )

With PMS stopped, Move the i965 driver I gave you away from where PMS can find it.
Let it download the new driver for 1.32.8 as 1.32.8 starts.

I upgraded again to 1.32.8

Now it seems to work. I removed the VaapiDriver= line like I did the last time, but I now also wiped the drivers from the Cache folder and the Drivers folder.

Working now just in the good old times or with the i965 manually placed in 1.32.5.
Thanks a lot for your work!

However I noticed another very strange thing again, that I also posted about here:

HIgh CPU load by just audio transcoding

Server Version#: 1.32.5.7349 Plex-Server on Asustor NAS AS6604T In the past, when Direct Streaming the video and only transcoding the audio stream the CPU wasn’t even barely touched (as expected). But recently the CPU load (by Plex) lies at or above 30%. For an audio transcode. Anybody else seeing that? That doesn’t seem right. Do you need anything to troubleshoot that?

@ChuckPa Do you have an idea, why Direct Streaming uses that much CPU?
Audio transcode sits at 12,5% usage of one core and two other threads utiliza a full core each.
