Missing HW device on Beta 1.42.1.10060

Is this functionality in the latest beta?

I have a Synology DS1823xs+ with a NVIDIA T400 4GB GPU (pretty common setup, I’d say) running version 1.42.2.10102 and I just realized the GPU is no longer listed as an option in the ‘Hardware transcoding device’ dropdown - therefore hardware transcoding is no longer working/possible. (Needless to say, this wasn’t a problem up to this point)

That version is the current beta. Moving your comment to it’s own thread for troubleshooting.

@Nozavi can you please grab your PMS logs and share them?

@Atomatth Done. Thank you!

Please turn off Verbose logging. That is not needed.

We have reached out to Synology. They made it perfectly clear: “No Support of such a configuration.” Therefore this is not something that we/Plex can support.

External GPU support in a DS1823xs+ is NOT SUPPORTED

Also this configuration voids the warranty.

Well, it seems I overlooked the oldest (IT) trick in the book. After turning off the Plex service and turning it back on again, the video card is present/used again, so this might have been just a “hiccup” :slight_smile:
