Server Version#: 1.40.2.8395 Player Version#: 1.93.0.144-9b2f4a13 2 small issues with PMS as a snap on Ubuntu 24.04 server 1st - I’m having a little bit of a problem with PMS - I can HW decode H.264 just fine, but even tho my CPU is capable of H.265, it seems to resort to software decoding and pu…

You only have to downgrade the kernel to 6.5, nothing else. Download the kernel packs from mainline: wget https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v6.5/amd64/linux-headers-6.5.0-060500-generic_6.5.0-060500.202308271831_amd64.deb wget https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v6.5/amd64/…

Hmm, so downgrading the kernel is really all that’s needed? Thank you for the detailed response. I’ll try it out today and see what happens. I was thinking maybe I should also hold back kernel updates, but then again, I guess I can always just let apt do its thing and if a later updated kernel does…

6.8 is still there, and you can change the grub if you suddenly want it back. I know i fickled a bit before i got it to default into 6.5. But yes…that’s all that’s needed and it’s been working fine for me running all my stuff.

Fickled a little might be an underestimation rofl - I’ve not been able to get it to cooperate to boot to 6.5 yet. I checked my boot order and kernels offered, I even went the old route of specifying the kernel from the submenu to boot from but for some reason it’s insisting on booting 6.8.

Apologies - i remember in the post-fickle i went with: GRUB_DEFAULT="Advanced options for Ubuntu>Ubuntu, with Linux 6.5.0-060500-generic" remember, after sudo update-grub …i will update my post

Haha, no worries at all - I managed to bork my system trying to get it to boot a different kernel and had to boot a live usb to recover - right now I have grub set to save the boot option based on last selected kernel. Since I had to hook up a screen to fix my previous issue after trying to get a k…

Fresh setup basically means this was a new server install to retire my NAS which couldn’t handle the video files well any more. I had installed 24.04 - it’s fully setup, plex is installed and operating, the metadata is all there now. Moving to 22.04 is doable, but I really didn’t want to redo the …

If I may add here? I have no intention of updating to 24.04 at least until the .2 release. – The more bug fixes we can get ; the better. The delineation with all this is the CPU & kernel they paired with that kernel. In all the Linux machines I’ve built, I split the OS partition from the…

Note - looks like my issue is related to Ubuntu 24.04 & HW transcoding - #59 by peterkocic - unfortunately this was a fresh setup server so I had used Ubuntu server 24.04… I’d really hate to reset it to 22.04, but I may have to as a lot of my newer 4K content is HDR
