Got word from Engineering – :crossed_fingers: Today :slight_smile:

Same issue experienced this morning as well. Using a GTX 1660 for transcoding.

Thanks for the insight that it’s not just isolated to nVidia. I didn’t realize you could do hardware transcoding on Intel iGPUs. My assumption is this is an issue with the latest version of PMS for Linux.

Are you on a Linux box or Windows? Curious if it’s isolated to Linux or if it’s universal to all OS’s. Thanks for reporting the issue though! I’m hopeful that the more people that report this, the more likely they’ll get it fixed soon so we can go back to doing transcoding on our GPUs.

Actually running Plex in docker on Linux ( LinuxServer.io docker image on Ubuntu)

Chiming in to say I also have this issue.

Pretty sure this is known and well defined. It might even be resolved in the upcoming release (I messaged the team and inquired)

Thanks for the reply and looking into it! If it’s well defined, it’s not easy to find anywhere on the forums or elsewhere on the Internet :slight_smile:

In case I’m talking out the backside of my hat ( Always a possibility :rofl: ), I’ll be back for info & samples :smiling_imp:

That’s awesome news! I’ll keep an eye out for updates to the docker I use, and report back once I get a chance to test the update.

Looks like todays update fixed this!! vC1 is back on the table boys!

Since Im not getting any traction here, I started a new post. For all I know it may be a different issue.
