Also noticed that the volume level between transcoding or not is huge.
Gotta fix that
I had to revert to the latest beta build since the test build 8849 broke my transcoding entirely (regardless of tone-mapping or not), i.e. HW encode/decode wasn’t enforced anymore. Don’t have logs now but as you saw from my last upload, I’m on a i5 TGL NUC w/ Win 10 and up-to-date Intel GPU drivers.
@iophobia looking at your logs there appears to be some sort of permissions error:
Transcoder: Failed to delete session directory (boost::filesystem::remove_all: Die Anforderung wird nicht unterstützt [system:50]: "R:\Transcode\Sessions\plex-transcode-90nz2n2l9fgyugfdds0h5m7h-a6b148cf-70f2-4514-adeb-8bec9cb61e91\chunk-stream0-00962.m4s")
It appears that most if not all major issues have been resolved so I am closing this thread.
