Let’s do this the hard way and verify your udev is working.

sudo chmod 666 /dev/dri/renderD128 /dev/dri/card0

Now try hardware transcoding.

If this works:

  1. Uninstall PMS (do not purge)
  2. Reinstall the udev package
  3. Restart Linux
  4. Reinstall PMS

I tried that. Hardware transcoding works. I did the 4 steps. Tried to start the other movier ->same issue.

I regret to inform. It’s your Ubuntu installation. I don’t know what’s corrupted but something is corrupt or not up to date.

32

I’ve installed on Saturday a fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04 from scratch. But why I didn’t encounter Issues with Plex version 1.17x?

33

Can you install PMS 1.17 right now and it will work?

34

I am afraid, unfortunately I didn’t backup an old 1.17 version. So I am not capable to install it.

36

This looks like the iHD video driver.

sudo rm /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so

Restart PMS.

37

No I deleted it before and restarted the PMS. The error message is a bit different as before.
