Plex Pass user,
The system has a Supermicro X11SSH-F mb, Intel Xeon Processor E3-1225 v6 cpu, 64GB ECC ram, dual 10G network and some hard drives.
From my research both cpu and mb support intel quicksync, and I’m able to see the “HD Graphics P630” device in the hardware transcoding menu.
Following these informations, and this link https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/hd_graphics_p630 we can say I should be able to transcode my library on the go, since my files are all 1080p/4k h264/h265
The problem is: it doesn’t work.
When I start a movie I know would be transcoded, throws this VAAPI error 2 times and then proceeds to software transcode it. cpu goes to 100% and still isn’t enough for direct play, but it also disrupts my nas file transfer speed

I tried multiple settings for storage and played around whit the folder permissions, nothing worked.
I had to make a filter that optimizes all 4k content to 1080p just to be able to see my library from all the tvs in the house (some are 4k, some are 1080p)
the only thing I found is that truenas kernel throws an “edid block 0 is all zeros” warning multiple times a minute but I don’t think that this would stop the igpu from working. the motherboard does have ipmi so it has it’s own gpu, the cpu one is not connected to the back I/O
Any idea?
