Memory leak since 1.15.x on 300+ Plex Server Instances

Hi, the culprit is, like many others here, the new iHD_drv_video.so driver. When deleted and relying on good old VAAPI driver, everything is fine, memory usage is stable. I saw there was a transcoder rework for Apollo lake cpus in 1.18.7 but it obviously doesn’t suit my setup.

EDIT: @ChuckPa provided a cleaner way by editing Preferences.xml to force select i965 driver without the hassle to delete iHD_drv_video.so each time you upgrade, big thanks to him.
