Server Version#:1.43.0.10162 Player Version#:Plex client for TCL Google TV 10.30.4.4092 [Plex Media Server Logs\_2025-09-26\_19-17-33.zip](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/dzEXwm0LPzGePTF5RedlOttEgLd.zip) (1.9 MB) I didn’t notice until recently that my (admittedly extremely old) Core i5-4670 was getting hammered when trying to do any transcoding. I had to roll back all the way to 1.41.5.9522 before I could see “hw transcoding” in the Now Playing dashboard (and could see that my igpu was being utilized and CPU no longer at 100%). Intel HD Graphics 4600 shows up under hardware transcoding device. This looks like it was a problem for a few versions from 1.41.4.9421 through 1.41.6.9685 (Transcoding) HW transcodes were still failing on some older intel igpus (PM-2756) Any chance this can get looked at further? Thanks! ---
