Below please find ALPHA build (pre-QA Testing).
After this build passes testing , with any possible PMS corrections, it will become PlexPass Beta.
I request everyone give it “one final test” to confirm packaging is working exactly as it should be without any surprises / mistakes.
When 1.28.1 is released to beta, this thread will be closed.
Hardware acceleration is broken on this build. Previous build plexmediaserver_1.28.0.5952-c14994e38_amd64.deb worked fine. Lmk if you need anything else to debug

PMS is performing hardware transcoding (vaapi driver).
Are you not seeing the indicator on the activity status?

Thanks for letting me know.
Since 1.28.1 is an Alpha (pre-QA) build, it might not be 100%
I’ll do some testing here and see if I can recreate what you are seeing.
To date, I’ve not been able to but will find a video as close to yours as I can and see what happens
Thanks for all your help. You truly are a jewel at Plex hope they treating you as such
I’ve reached out to the transcoding team.
From 1.28.0 → 1.28.1 the Intel IHD driver was updated.
Seems there’s an issue with that update.
Got you… Thanks for the update
FYI… installed plexmediaserver_1.28.1.6018-c1f308c6a_amd64.deb today and its still reporting beignet-opencl-icd is needed on my setup which it should not. I’ve a dedicated nvidia card so is not needed.

I’m trying to figure out a solution.
It might be best to remove the auto-install for those older systems.
I’ve no concerns with that but others might.
This maybe an oversimplification but could the final check after you do everything else your doing now be something like, if Nvidia GPU card is found and Intel i915 Hardware is not found then just don’t recommend beignet-opencl-icd ?
The problem I have is apt/dpkg themselves handle all “recommended” packages.
Beignet & OpenCL are in that list.
Those are done outside the scope of what I can see
If I could have done a nested install, I would have
Remove from package list and put into documentation as prerequisites ?
Of course that brings its own problems but might be cleaner purely from a package perspective.
That’s how it originally was.
The packaging still checks for and alerts if not present.
It was decided by Engineering to make them self/automatic installing.
I’m trying to get them to reconsider
I know that you’ve already gotten it pointed at the transcoding from the HID drive, but I wanted to second that I can confirm this issue existed for me as well. I’m on a brand new install on a NUC11TNKv7 with PVE7, Ubuntu 22.04 in an LXC, and downgrading the package from that latest beta (1.28.1.6018-c1f308c6a) to the older 1.28.0.5952-c14994e38 build worked for me as well.
I don’t know how long this problem has existed as it has been a while since I’ve actually tried doing it myself, but as of the latest (public) version somewhere along the line HDR Tone Mapping stopped hardware transcoding on i5-7500 (UHD630). When I turn HDR transcoding off again the same files HW transcode fine. This used to work fine since the original installer changes for Intel Compute were introduced.

PMS 1.28.1 has a core problem with transcoding.
It’s not packaging.
Doh. Is a deb for the previous release hosted somewhere? It seems it has been long enough between updates that my apt cache has already been cleaned out.
