Server Version#: 1.29.2.6364
Dumb question maybe, but how do I confirm whether I’m running a 32 or 64 bit version of PMS on my Ubuntu system. My Ubuntu is definitely 64 bit.
Pull log files. Unzip. Look at first line of Plex Media Server.log.
x86_64 = 64-bit
Nov 17, 2022 04:02:02.515 [0x7f4f44cdfb38] INFO - Plex Media Server v1.29.2.6364-6d72b0cf6 - Ubuntu PC x86_64 - build: linux-x86_64 debian - GMT -06:00
Addendum: If you still have the .deb/rpm/etc, the 64-bit versions have 64 at the end of the file name.
Ubuntu/Debian Intel/AMD:
plexmediaserver_1.29.2.6364-6d72b0cf6_amd64.deb = 64-bit
plexmediaserver_1.29.2.6364-6d72b0cf6_i386 = 32-bit
It is similar for the Fedora & Ubuntu ARM downloads.

One other thing guys. Is zero-copy HW transcoding supported in Linux. Why do I ask? It’s now supported in Windows. However HDR->SDR tonemapping in Linux (using NVIDIA) is nearly unworkable for 4K HDR w/ PGS subs (you actually have to turn tonemapping off… but it still tonemaps… it’s confusing, I know). I’m wondering if it’s worth it to switch back to Windows. If Windows will have the same issues, I’ll just stick with Linux.
Yes. zero-copy has been available in Linux for quite some time now.
QSV-capable CPUs, from KabyLake and above, also have HW HDR tonemapping.
I’ve been using it on my QNAP NAS for a few years now (i7-7700)
I also have a Nvidia P2200 so can manually select which I want to use (before I start PMS)
