Server Version#: 1.31.3.6819 Player Version#: Any player Hey, this is my third attempt (the first two were on reddit) to see if someone has any idea on how I might be able to fix my issue. I have been running my plex server for friends and family for 7 years, but only in the last year have I seen…

[image] xsidex: disabling GPU encoding and leaving only decoding on Since it happens when simply decoding, without encoding, it is probably not a performance issue at least. Buggy graphics drivers perhaps? What happens if you make the game a window, then play a video file in any player with…

Hey! First, thanks for trying to help! Some clarification is needed from my part. Disabling gpu encoding and leaving decoding on causes crashes just the same as leaving both options on. I have tried every recent available gpu driver with no changes, and I have also cleaned installed the gpu drive…

Your use case doesn’t fit in with Plex’s. They develop and test without thinking that the GPU would be in use by another application, and lets face it Games make serious demands on the GPU. Plex has recently gone down the path of including driver libraries that may be incompatible with what you ar…

I understand all that, but I also don’t think that my use case is extremely niche. Surely a lot of people use their system for multiple use cases and lack the interest in building a dedicated system just for plex and other server applications. And when you quote that plex “has recently gone down t…

Unfortunately, no changes after rolling back to 1.28. I definitely feels like when a game is close to maxing out GPU resources and a transcode jumps forward for whatever reason, the game will hard lock and crash. The expected behaviour and the way I have seen this behave in the past has been a redu…

Anyone else has a similar setup to mine that would be willing to do some testing to see if the issue is replicable in a different machine?

Bumping this one final time just to make sure someone out there has a similar setup and can try to recreate this issue

You would have to revert back to a 1.28 version to avoid all the changes but probably the most relevant one is Plex Media Server 1.30.0.6359 - New Transcoder Preview.
