I’ve been a Plex user for several years. The last few years, I’ve been running my Plex server on an old AMD FX-6300 system and it’s been doing good for my needs until recently. It had troubles transcoding 4K HEVC streams to the point where they were unplayable. I read up on hardware transcoding usin…

Update: Just to let everyone know… I’m doing the updating work in the package. I’ve got a mechanism which looks like it will also work for Xeon processors. It knows the differences between Need & Have as well as can intelligently parse its own CPU ID info. Parse CPU Decide what’s needed. (Ne…

I will be upgrading my system in the very near future (motherboard is in the mail) to an i5-10600K if you need any testers.

Very much will be in need of as many different CPUs & configs as I can get. This will be for both RPM and DEB based systems.

Currently running Debian Buster with 5.10 kernel

I’m on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, but I can install Fedora 33 or CentOS 8 on a spare SSD if needed.

@ChuckPa Not to thread jack too much, does the fix listed above work for 11th gen? I have an I7 11700 and I’m having the exact same issues described. HW transcoding works with everything but 4k HEVC. Is this a Plex issue, driver issue, or both?

@maasi --and to everyone following along, I’ve been doing a lot of research. Killer points here: Kernel 5.11.11 or better – and stable – (which the i915 does not yet appear to be for the -11xxxx) RPM users will need compile themselves from Intel Compute Runtime GITHUB RPM users - also the equ…

First off, appreciate your response on a Saturday - you’re the man! Thanks for the insight on the situation. I guess I will be sitting tight. To answer “the real question”, ask my family members who refuse to watch at native quality! I try to educated where possible but it is sometimes a futile eff…

You could be hard headed about it :rofl: “My server – My rules” … then turn off transcoding and tone mapping :smiling_imp: I just got 1440/42 Mbps internet a couple months ago. This is the first time I’ve actually been able to stream to family. I did lay down some rules. There is a…
