ALL: For those of you considering immediately upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 as soon as it’s released for your PMS server – PLEASE WAIT We ask you to wait because current testing with the near-release branch of Ubuntu 24.04 reveals HW transcoding and tonemapping failures which do not exist on earlier (2…

For those using Plex in an LXC, such as through Proxmox, would this new update still work with a 6.8 kernel, or would any other updates to the host need to be applied?

The beauty of the LXC makes this trivial :slight_smile: We’re on the 6.8 kernel, which the LXC shares We’re in the Ubuntu runtime OS virtualization / namespace (Proxmox is in the first namespace) As long as the hardware (/dev/dri) is passed through correctly, – PMS will bring all the updates it…

[image] bytat: Will all the gens have to be fixed before you release any updates? We will release for everything at once as we always do. Right now, we are working through the QA cycle with some extra scrutiny because this is a big update to the transcoder and there’s a lot to test. (we’r…

Thanks for the updates @ChuckPa , looking forward to the beta release.

Great I’m waiting on this also… Spent a good few hours trying to fix this until I found this and it was an actual bug… running without HDR tone mapping enable and works great… awaiting the beta release for testing.

I have tested 1.40.3.8555 on JasperLake with Ubuntu 24.04 6.8 Linux kernel. Tonemapping in HW is fully operational again. I had hopes of HEVC encoding being fully operational for all platforms but I had forgotten that not all CPUs support HEVC encoding. oops on my part

Ah well bummer because like I said, it doesn’t do anything for me. System: Arc A380 card, Ubuntu 24.04 with the 6.8.0-35-1 kernel. Result: Installing the 1.40.3.85555 beta does not restore hardware transcoding tonemapping. Switching back to 6.5 kernel and installing the latest non-beta restores HW…

Be advised – We don’t officially support the ARC GPU. It’s up to you to ensure the correct drivers are installed for vaapi operation. What I expect you’re finding is the same exact problem we had. The 6.8 kernel breaks most of the drivers which is why operation is restored when reverting to the …

Didn’t realize Arc support was unofficial since supporting them’s been in the patch notes. None of the newer kernels (6.8.12 or 6.9.3) work either, so guess it’s time to switch to jellyfin then.

I’m assuming the tonemapping fix in the latest beta ( 1.40.3.8555) is unrelated and just sounds like the same problem, then (because it doesn’t fix anything)?
