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…

Is there a way to force devices accessing my server not via a web browser to also use the i965 driver when having to rely on the servers hardware transcoding? I thought that was the default but it does not look to be the case.

You are the server owner. Changes / settings at this level apply globally to anyone who uses your server.

Ubuntu Version 24.04 Kernel 6.8.0-39-generic Alderlake CPU I’m having the transcoding issue, do i need to wait for 24.04 to be patched before i can upgrade my kernel to fix the trancoding issue? (ubuntu noob here)

What I was looking for was, all client devices that cannot play the current media at original playback (regardless of if the client device is using a browser or the Plex app) then I want the device to transcode with working tone mapping; however, currently this is only the case for clients that use …

24.04 is a hot mess. As a noob, you’re probably not aware of the rule – NEVER install the “.0” release (e.g. 24.04.0). :rofl: 22.04.4 is very stable. I was reading up on what’s being released. Points of interest 22.04 Phantom /dev/dri/card0 – fixed by Intel display group Other issues wh…

We can still do 24.04.1 and 6.5 kernel to avoid all these bugs, right? I need to get off 23.10 because it’s EOL, lol. [edited/updated on 8/29] Just upgraded from 23.10 to 24.04.1. I wanted to get off an EOL release for security reasons. I don’t have a need to run the 6.8 kernel so I’m running t…

This thread has gotten very long, very technical, and has diverged into a forked discussion of HDR issues. I’d just like to confirm that now that 24.04.1 LTS has been released (today!) - is the official guidance from Plex that Gemini Lake users on Ubuntu 23.10 should not upgrade to 24.04.1 because …

Just upgraded to 24.04.1 LTS and HW Transcoding has stopped working on my Intel Kaby Lake GPU. The GPU shows up in Plex under the transcoding options and I can see /dev/dri/card0, /dev/dri/card1 and /dev/dri/renderD128 in the docker container. I was previously running 22.04.4 LTS with linux kernel 6…

Folks, Please give me a chance to catch up please. I am currently fully engaged resolving a QNAP firmware problem which impacts all users.

I just upgraded from 23.10 to 24.04.1 LTS. I wanted to get off an EOL 23.10 for security reasons. I don’t have a need to run the 6.8 kernel so I’m running the proven 6.5 kernel. It’s working fine on some a few sanity tests (i.e. transcoding with HW, tone mapping with HW). I will hang out with 23.04…
