Server Version#: 1.32.5.7210 Player Version#: 4.108.0 Today I installed my new Intel A380 into my Linux server running on kernel 6.3.9. I’ve passed through /dev/dri to the Docker container, and enabled hardware transcoding. When I attempt to perform a transcode, I get the following log message: D…

openSUSE Tumbleweed. This is an Intel Arc discrete GPU, which didn’t have mainline support until 6.2 I believe.

Arc GPU support is primarily in the Intel Media Driver but yes, 6.2 removes the “experimental” support flag. We didn’t add / do anything specific in Plex. When we updated the Intel Media Driver, Arc came with that. My concern when upgrading a kernel out of cycle from a distro is always - – Ar…

Are you aware of specific driver packages that would need to be installed on the host OS to support hardware transcoding on Intel Arc cards? It’s my understanding that everything needed is in the Linux kernel itself.

I’m not aware of the specific packages needed by name. I do think you need to add the runtime drivers for the card. Just because kernel support for the card (on the PCIe bus) is complete, it does not mean the kernel also includes HW transcoding drivers. The card can be used for solid modeling, …
