Player Version#: 4.87.2 (web)
After upgrading Openmediavault to v7 (Debian to v12) hw accel stopped working (QuickSync). Plex is running via docker. According to server log, it seems plex wants to use hw but it fails for some reason. I assume there have been some driver changes to Debian 12 that could be the reason. Using dmesg on the host system shows some errors.
There are some other recent reports about hw accel issues that could possibly be related:
