Server Version#:1.18.6.2368 I been seeing HW transcoding on pi 4 since last few update. I dont see any option in the web to enable it . PlexMediaServer install: PlexMediaServer install: Now installing based on: PlexMediaServer install: Process Control: Systemd PlexMediaServer install: …

Also I’m shopping for a DVR module now… I do think they are leveraging correctly in assuming people are hurting right now and looking for a low-cost OTA solution. Enter Plex. Right on.

Please allow me to make my duties clear. I am primarily tasked with Customer Support & QA. I have split duty with Engineering on the Linux systems implementations. I am directly responsible for: a. Synology package b. QNAP package c. Debian & Redhat Linux packages. I have other specific targ…

I’m sorry that you’re not understanding what I’ve tried to communicate. I am glad you were able to backport the code and have success. Capitalizing on that success, which is something we’ve been wanting to do since the launch of ARMv8 support is having hardware transcoding, and, as you state, is…

If you don’t like my answers, write to Plex corporate. I don’t know who you think you are – entitled to everything but you’re done. Have a good day.

Chuck, I can only speak for myself but I just wanted to say that I do appreciate you taking the time to help us understand how things work. As I previously stated, especially with a product that supports so many platforms, it takes a lot to move even a little. Don’t sweat the small stuff and thank…

Late to the thread but good technical info. @ChuckPa I remember I did some tests a long time ago with ffmpeg built with openmax (omx) and a raspberry 2 was able to handle HW encoding to h264 in realtime I don’t know if Plex uses an ffmpeg process or internalizes some libs, but I assume that OpenMa…

[image] WolfganP: PD: I’m also assuming that the user base of servers running on RasPis is a big number to justify it, of course Tbh I don’t think so because it is so limited. And Plex will know the metrics. If it was so popular, more development would happen probably.

Add me to the list of folk who are surprised h264_omx isn’t in there already. I’m currently using it to transcode a TiVo-supplied mpg2 by hand with ffmpeg and the speed is 1.02x… and I’m not trying to save time with it.

would love to have this enabled… plex on raspberry pi 4 is growing a lot, in fact the only reason that I am using plex is because I wanted something to use my raspberry pi for

I wonder if we have a Catch-22 situation here. PMS metrics don’t show enough people using PMS on RPi hardware to justify resources for adding HW support for the RPi. And on the other foot, no one wants to stick PMS on their RPi until there is hardware transcoding support. I think a 4 GB RPi 4 wou…
