PMS 1.32.6+ HW transcoding issues and corrections. ALL: We’re really sorry. We missing a whopping fault in PMS. Specifically, we missed a change which broke HW tone mapping support on Linux platforms. ( that’s what I get for sleeping from 4am → 6am :man_facepalming: ) Where we’re at We’ve g…

Plex doesn’t bite :shark: I might… but Plex doesn’t :rofl: I would VERY MUCH like to see DEBUG logs ZIP files which capture the failure(s). I can’t fix what I don’t see.

I’m running into this issue as well. 4K HDR10 HEVC content will not use the hardware transcoder when transcoding to SDR. Relevant info: Sep 27, 2023 16:09:22.265 [140076626238264] ERROR - [Req#212a21/Transcode/ckemavbnwujeyx0w4ir6dv2z/d45d2792-f567-4785-8219-7d63abb25985] [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x7…

@DoctorB0NG You can remove the opencl-icd package – PMS does not use it It’s also been known to cause problems. I would like to see the DEBUG logs too please ALL: I have NOT HAD TIME TO TEST 1.32.7 – Please identify if this is where the complaint lies.
