Trying to transcode 4k HDR to 1080SDR crashes after a few seconds

Server Version#: 1.21.0.3616
Player Version#: Plex for Windows 1.23.0.1435-e10e14cf
Nivida Quadro P2000
Running in K8s using linuxserver image,

Standard HW transcoding works fine, but when trying the new HDR->SDR (thanks btw), it plays for a few seconds, I see a ~1.3GB transcode process in the process list in NVIDIA-SMI and then it just crashes back out. I know this is a brand new feature and needs bugs worked out, but just wanted to mention it. I’ll grab debug logs tomorrow.

According to this forum thread, K8’s isn’t supported, could be related.

I think thats for intel only, right? I’m running nvidia which should be supported according to the HDR-> SDR matrix.

I’m not sure myself. Hopefully a Plex Ninja will come along and see this. I just happened to be looking through any new threads since yesterday’s update.
