The Linux kernel is a “hot mess” right now. There’s a lot of breakage.
Gnome is broken too (no dual monitor DisplayPort over USB, etc) .
We are , unfortunately, gated by some of those basic capabilities but
our plan is as follows:
- Complete the current Forum Preview of HW subtitle burning
- Perform a full upgrade (download fresh FFMPEG from the upstream source)
- Apply Plex customizations to it (integrate it fully into PMS)
- Release as the new transcoder.
We expect to have both AMD and ARC GPU support as the result of that effort.
Our existing transcoder is a version behind upstream (has patches only for bug fixes) which means its lacking major feature support (like GPUs)
