I have been trying to test transcoding on my Unraid Plex server, but I have never had much success with it, and lately, it has become even more of a problem. When trying to transcode most HD videos to a lower resolution, I often only see the player screen load indefinitely until it eventually crashes. I have an Intel i7-12700k with an iGPU which should be usable for transcoding, but even with hardware transcoding enabled in the setting, I never see any indication that it is being used when I do find a video that works with transcoding. Plus, I get the main error regardless of whether HW transcoding is enabled. When checking the console, I see that the following three errors appear every second after the server starts playing any video after Plex starts up, transcoded or direct play:

Could this be related to the transcoding errors? I have confirmed my transcoding directory has R/W access and have even tried different directories, but with no luck. What should I do?
