When using Plex Web, playing an HDR10 movie, and selecting “Convert Automatically” from Playback Settings, should I expect it to do hardware transcoding and hardware tone mapping?
I’m selecting “Convert Automatically” because it uses Direct Stream if I don’t. I get audio only (blank screen) in this case, which seems to be due to having:
“Use alternate streaming protocol for video playback”: true
“Automatically adjust quality (Beta)”: false
(I have it set this way due to horrendous playback skipping in edge/chrome bug)
When set to “Convert Automatically”, then Plex does transcode, but no (hw) tag - my CPU is pegged (can’t keep up), and my GPU is unused.
I have installed the Plex from this thread, am on Windows 11, have a 9th gen CPU (unsupported for hw tone mapping), but also have a Intel ARC A770. The A770 is selected in the Transcoder setting page.
If this is expected to work, let me know what I can try or what more info you need.
