Server Version#:DSM 7.2.1-69057 Update 5 Player Version#: 1.40.4.8598 I’m wondering if anybody could help me with my problem I no longer can transcode I updated to newest version and it didn’t work so I tried the beta version and it does not work. I have a synology DS 920+

I had to downgrade to 1.40.2.8395 from 1.40.3.8555 on two Synology NAS units (918+ and 920+) for QSV to work on 4K file transcodes. 1080p transcodes work just fine. 4K transcodes do not show the (HW) suffix in the dashboard and max out the CPU.

I have never had any problems transcoding 4k HDR content on my DS 920+ it is just this new update. I don’t know what they have done. I can simply not transcode anymore. I have always used HDR tone mapping and had no issues.

Hi guys, Plex has just released a new update PlexMediaServer-1.40.4.8679-424562606-x86_64_DSM7. Will this update transcode? Or should I skip this update?

This update (8679) fixes the issue for me. Can transcode with HDR properly again

[image] cerim: PlexMediaServer-1.40.4.8679-424562606-x86_64_DSM7. Will this update transcode? Yes. Hardware accelerated transcoding of HDR media is now working on my DS918+ (J3455, Apollo Lake CPU). It should also fix the problem for those with Gemini Lake CPUs, such as the J4125 in DS920+. …

Even in 1.40.4.8679, this is still not working correctly on Linux when utilizing Intel devices (e.g., ARC GPU). Works perfectly fine 1.40.2.

Plex no longer transcodes
