You have a perfectly capable GPU already, the problem is that the OS is older than the CPU/GPU. Also not convinced you have all the networking smoothed out but the easier thing to do is update your kernel to support the CPU/GPU and load the right GPU driver. Some hints here: Plex Media Server on Ub…

I am specifically running Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS, which was released February 2022, so the OS should not be that old. I could upgrade to 22.x but 21.x did not properly expose /dev/dri forcing me into the 20.x stream at the time. In terms of network, I have no packet loss anywhere on the lan, and every…

OS’s regularly trail the Hardware. You don’t have to change the Ubuntu version, you need to load a newer kernel. sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-20.04

CPU and GPU are being detected. Scheduled tasks hasn’t had a chance to deep analyze the file for media info, you can try a manual analyze to see if that improves playback decisions It is transcoding because of video, audio and subtitles. To isolate you can: Disable Subtitles Disable “Enable HD…

I don’t see where i would disable subtitles. On roku (under settings) to burn subtitles I have always, automatic, only image formats. Update: doh wasn’t server side (I don’t use subtitles). I went to subtitles in the movie, and changed it to disabled from english. IT appears to now work.

Can’t find all the steps at the moment but the ICD you have is too new, you need ICR 21.49.21786.
