Updated to the new Plex server version and Hardware transcoding for SDR files is working correctly. Bu I am unable to play any HDR content with HDR - SDR tonemapping enabled.
It is my understanding that with hardware transcoding, if the GPU cannot perform the tonemapping then it should fallback to software. However in my case the file just fails to play at all. It will sit with the spinnign circle for hours if I let it.
However, going into the settings and disabling the tonemapping and the files play without issue. Just not with the tonemapping.
My plex server is running in Docker in Unraid 6.10-rc2. The logs show errors like this when trying to play HDR content:
[Transcoder] [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x1536b4914d40] No matching devices found.
Please enable DEBUG logging again. Click SAVE after enabling.
I can see nothing.
