Plex Media Server 1.30.0.6359 - New Transcoder Preview

I don’t understand what you are talking about.
Are you talking about these settings ?

… Turns out it was the “Use hardware acceleration when available” option that was causing the issue. Just weird that it was working on older versions.

– update :
Still reverted back because of cpu usage, back to public version hardware accelleration works and my cpu only goes up to 8% instead of 100%

I shelled in and updated the binary and /version.txt inside the docker container, but restarting the container proved to restart the original image. Is there a beta image available that I can point my docker-compose configuration at, or am I missing something?

@Ridley any help on this issue?

Using 1.29.2 (can’t confirm if it was happening before as I rarely come across HLG files) - playing an HLG file on a TV that doesn’t support it but does support HDR leads to stuttering video. Forcing a hardware transcode corrects it. File works fine on a TV that supports HLG.

Feel free to spin this out if it’s off-topic/not related to 1.29.2

EDIT: Okay can confirm it’s happening in 1.29.1 so nevermind!

The link to download the Synology DSM7 Intel 64-bit seems to be not working. Thanks!

Neither the link to the Mac version (or any other).

Hello,

Do you know how I can go back to 1.29.1.xxx branch on ASUSTOR NAS? When I try to manually install 1.29.1.6316, App Central says that a newer version is already installed. Should I uninstall Plex and install it again? If so, will I lose anything?
I’m not using the docker image, I’m using native installation.

Per the first post:

I’m curious what the passmark is on your CPU? Am I reading that chart right where you had 48 4K transcodes going?

Getting a drmGetDevices2 error loop on my QNAP container even after updating to this version. I was using linuxserver build but now using plexpass the issue is still present. Different thread opened here.

For now I’ve reverted to 1.29.0 to get back up and running.

Edit: I was posting this in the event others got drawn here with the above issue. Please join us there if you have that issue on QNAP NAS docker container.

Unfortunately they all do.

links are dead and return 404 not found. Plex Team, can we update the links?

Yeah why is all the links dead? :frowning:

Does 1.29.2.6334 include the new transcoder?

No it does not.

Will there be any harm, minus going back to the old transcoder, to flip back to the published releases now that theres a 1.29.2 out?

Does this release support hardware transcoding with tone mapping of dolby vision HDR content to SDR on intel (arc or igpu)? My old tesla P4 doesn’t currently handle dolby vision transcoding and it’s becoming a bit of a problem i’d be willing to throw new hardware at if it’s supported.

edit I may be wrong, I actually have no idea if my nvidia tesla P4 handles dolby vision transcoding, as pointed out by @FordGuy61 below it is a plex licensing limitation.

Plex Media Server does not transcode or tonemap Dolby Vision video. Plex does not have a license from Dolby to do so (reference).

If your media contains both DV and HDR10 video (such as DV Profile 7), Plex will transcode & tonemap the HDR10 video if possible.
