Thank you both for your testing and reporting here.
These two reports are the final confirmation I needed to proceed with submitting this to QA for approval.
Before I submit to QA, would you both please check your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list file?
You should find the repo definition is now defined using a GPG key with the actual Plex package signing key in /usr/share/keyrings.
Regarding your transcoding issue, would you please create a fresh topic and ping me to that thread ? (@chuckpa)
In your OP, please include the DEBUG logs zip file which captures the playback problem youāre having.
Hereās my plexmediaserver.list, looks good! (Didnāt enable it yet though.)
# When enabling this repo, Ubuntu 20+ / Debian 10+ will automatically install the signing key
# All older versions require manual installation of the key using wget:
# wget -q https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-keys/PlexSign.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
#
# Uncomment this next line to enable the repository then update apt: sudo apt update.
#deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/plexmediaserver.gpg] https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb/ public main
Here you go @ChuckPa
# When enabling this repo please remember to add the PlexPublic.Key into the apt setup.
# wget -q https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-keys/PlexSign.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
#deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/plexmediaserver.gpg] https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb/ public main
Thatās perfect.
The default is disabled but the path to the gpg key is already setup for apt
If you were to edit the file, removing the [ ....... ] signed-by info, when you next install the package, youād find it updates only that part of the definition without changing enabled/disabled status.
Ignore the transcoding issue, Iām the idiot. Plex installer gave instructions on installing all the debs from Intelās github, but I missed the fact that I didnāt have Ubuntuās ocl-icd-libopencl1 package installedā¦ works like a champ now.
(FYI - This i5 NUC 11 is pretty impressive. Looks like I can handle 2-3 simultaneous HDR tone maps. Only one of my TVs doesnāt do HDR though, so Iām in really good shape!)
In reviewing my checklist,
I still need someone to check the installation on Intel N and G series (Celeron) CPUs
Whatās the difference between the new beta ? Anything new from this package ?
The differences here, which are my development/preview , and not yet in production release are as stated in the first post:
I am hoping to get someone with a āNā cpu can confirm everything is correctly identified.
In the old thread @DjidaneJex had an N CPUā¦
i have i5-1135G7 do you need that?
The 1135G7 is different than what Iām seeking. That processor has been verified.
I need the Pentium G series. Processors like: IntelĀ® PentiumĀ® Processor G4560
Thanks for offering.
I may be offtopic with this, but since the other thread got closed, I didnāt know where else to put this: The current production install script (version 1.28.0.5973) is throwing an error in the post-install script:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/plexmediaserver.postinst: 311: [: Illegal number: ()
I thought you might want to know about this, Chuck. If not, please disregard/delete.

There is no good place to put that so putting it here is by far the best choice
Please share /tmp/plexinstaller.log.
Also please share the results of:
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name' | uniq
You can see something went wrong here :
PlexMediaServer install: Processor: Intel(R)
I have a good idea what it is 
@cryptochrome ALL:
Below please find PMS 1.28.0.5952-c14994e38.
This matches the current PMS Beta version with all my changes applied.
There should be no issues with 11th generation or above Intel processors where the naming convention has changed while retaining full identification of all older processors.
Please test and report.

Will give this a try after work 
Yep, Itās as I thought.
I apologize for not having originally understood all the different ways Intel is naming their processors now.
In this update, I completely rewrote the CPU identification section to be more flexible.
As long as Intel keeps up with their CPU-GPU structure (e.g. i7-7700) then it will work for even an i11-22141 
.
Alright. Plex will run fine, regardless, right? Itās just the script checking for the CPU glitching?
PMS will run fine IF Intel Compute Runtime is already installed.
There would be problems on a new installation.
The CPU detection drives:
