Hi, I noticed that after running transcodes on plex, with hardware acceleration enabled (gpu), the p-state of my nvidia gtx 1070 gets stuck in P0 mode. Because of this it is drawing a lot of power (more than while transcoding in P2..), and the fan is spinning up unnecessarily as well.. If I stop …

Nvidia released 450.57 on 7/9. Just installed and confirmed that the drivers are now returning to P8 automatically at the end of the transcode sessions. [image] GeForce Driver Results | NVIDIA Download the for systems. Released

What is a bit more worrisome for me is that even the 1.16.7.1573 alpha has no fix for this issue. Even though there is stated that they updated to the current upstream ffmpeg. So no fix on the horizon for the next couple of weeks… (even months?)

@ChuckPa have you got some news about transcoder (ffmpeg) upgrade ?

This is still something I plan to continue looking into after we resolve some Windows issues with the new Transcoder Preview build.

There is an ETA for new transcoder ? (not exact day, but few weeks ? few months ?)

Thanks ! I Hope this problème (s-state) will be fix… it’s a very critical issue. Why doesnt create Docker images of the New transcoder ?

Can you please try these steps to install the preview in your existing PMS-docker container Docker Install Steps

Update with your methode, server is 1.16.7.1597-a6e223f7f Bug still here :slight_smile: Do you want some logs ?

No need for logs. I will be shifting my focus back to this issue tomorrow :slight_smile:
