If I posted in the wrong section, please move once :slight_smile: Since my current PC is getting on in years (AMD A10 5700) and apparently the motherboard has also gone something new. Since I’m currently also looking for a decent device for a Plex server including 4K transcoding and tone mapping, …

Regarding Intel 11th gen processors, transcoding/tonemapping, & Linux: Intel Xe graphics (Tiger Lake) are not yet supported when running Linux. There are problems with the Intel supplied video drivers and also some new Plex development work required. Details: [image] Anyone have …

I had already read the thread. As it reads, it will certainly take some time until the drivers run properly in Linux and everything is adapted by the Plex team. Then it makes sense to buy one of the 10Gen. Just wanted to know if there are problems with transcoding and tone mapping with Windows as …

Any Plex folks here that can give a rough estimate on when HEVC HDR hardware transcoding will be supported for 11gen Intel procs on Ubuntu?

Follow the NUC 11 / Iris Xe thread. [image] Anyone have been able to HW transcode on an Intel NUC 11 (Iris Xe)? Desktops & Laptops eyes thinking I’m keeping track of Engineering’s progress. When there is more to share, I will. This is NEW development because the QSV …

@FordGuy61 Do you know if there are also problems under Ubuntu with a NUC8 with Coffee Lake i7-8559U and Iris Plus 655 ? Or does that run ? @Blkbyrd Newer is always better, at least when it comes to technology, but who knows how long the problems with the lack of CPU support in Plex will last… S…

[image] FXP_Freak: Do you know if there are also problems under Ubuntu with a NUC8 with Coffee Lake i7-8559U and Iris Plus 655 ? Or does that run ? AFAIK that works fine. The problems with hardware transcoding + HDR tonemapping started with 11th gen Intel CPUs, due to Intel shipping a buggy …

Then I did everything right by ordering a NUC8 with Coffee Lake CPU. Especially since I find 312€ ok for it. Now I just hope that Amazon also delivers when the part is available. Well what I have read here in the forum so to the 10th Gen Intel Cpu seems to still work as you say. But you have to com…

Fixed that for you. :slight_smile:
