Server Version#: 1.43.2.10623  
Player Version#: Plex Web 4.159  
Proxmox 9.1.9  
OS: Ubuntu 24.04LTS LXC privileged  
CPU: i9-10900K (Comet Lake)

This Plex server had hardware transcoding working for the last few years. It stopped working a few weeks after updating to Proxmox 9.1.9. I can see the iGPU on the Plex server and I did chmod 777 /dev/dri/card0 and /dev/dri/renderD128 (just to troubleshoot) which did not seem to fix it. Doesn’t work with HDR tone mapping enabled or disabled.

I see this in the logs but video doesn’t play

EDIT:  
Posting in case anyone runs into this issue.  
Looks like Linux 7.0.0-3-pve has an issue with intel and nvidia gpus. Had to rollback to Linux 6.17.13-6-pve to get this resolved.
