Server Version#: Version 1.15.4.993 Hello guys, I have a a server from hetzner with an i9-9900K processor. My OS is CentOS 7. I am running Plex Media Server directly on it. The Plex server is run by the user root. (just for now, once everything is sorted out I will use another user). I also add…

I had a similar issue with an i5-9600K. I thought it was related to my xpenology OS, but now I wonder if the same bug that stops a 9900k from working would also impact a 9600k?

Almost sure it’s the same issue. Think there is another thread here which talked about that cpu.

XPEnology uses the Synology kernel. There is no word yet on DSM 7. This as foundation, until such time as Synology offers a product using a CPU with the same ASIC support requirements as the -9xxx family and adds support for the for ASIC in DSM core, the -9xxx CPUs are very likely to not suppo…

The only reason it to use the 9600k thats been on my shelf for so many months :slight_smile: I bought a used i3-8100 to get me going and while its working great, I could use the extra 2 cores in that box …

Ah. The extra cores. Thank you. I have been sitting back on the i9 series at this point knowing intel has something bigger up their sleeve.

Can I assume that the i5-9400 is also in the group of cpu’s affected? I upgraded my PMS from a J3455 (with hardware transcoding was doing a descent job) to an i5-9400 running on Mint 19.2. I have been pulling my hair out why hardware transcoding is not working. Is this the source of the problem a…

All -9xxx family CPUs utilize Intel’s new driver (iHD) which is not part of the current PMS distribution.

Is this driver issue only on Linux and if I move PMS to windows will I regain HW transcoding?

No, because The same problem is now present there too. The updated transcoder is nearing completion. It will have the new Intel drivers installed with it and this problem will be resolved.

I am following this, I just installed the i9-9900 chip Friday and have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why Plex has been buffering so badly… Please let us know when the update is out.
