Are these good enough? 
Can I PM you the pms logs?
Tried some test without Hw transcoding enabled, server runs fine without problems.
Enabling it - crashes the server.
Direct streaming works perfectly
Would you give this a shot?
I rolled back to Ubuntu server 20.04LTS 5.4.0-71-generic
The Ubuntu Desktop with the new kernel was crashing too often.
So far my plex server is running on the standard install (without hw transcoding ofc) .
Will this work the new .deb from you ?
And how to I download in ssh for this Googledrive link?
when in a ssh, use wget URL (Linux 101 stuff 
)
This DEB file is the most widely reported “stable” version for all those folks with these newer processors
Regarding 5.8.0. If 5.8.0 is unstable, you need get that resolved. 5.4.0 will NOT be sufficient.
ahah funny - well I do know the Linux 101 wget curl… etc.
But when I rightclick your file and wget the link I just get a jiberish content download
Well I had 5.11 on ubuntu desktop after the upgrade , that one didnt work out that good ( with Desktop ) - now reinstalled and running Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS.
hold on my last.
Nah found a script
#!/bin/bash
# Get files from Google Drive
# $1 = file ID
# $2 = file name
URL="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=$1"
wget --load-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt "https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=$(wget --quiet --save-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --no-check-certificate $URL -O- | sed -rn 's/.*confirm=([0-9A-Za-z_]+).*/\1\n/p')&id=$1" -O $2 && rm -rf /tmp/cookies.txt
./nameofscript.sh googlefilenameid filename.deb
./nameofscript.sh 1F3JuZKFw6VIbZLDhjXiEdtD5uY792l0o pms.deb
Wait 10 sesc, and voila
So I should upgrade kernel on linux server to get this working?
ahaha thanks
Got it
So I need to upgrade kernel and test this file
All the -11xxx CPUs need the 5.11 + kernels to be properly recognized.
Hardware transcoding and Hardware tonemapping require Intel Compute Runtime.
You’re on the bleeding edge. Did you bring 
?

Server is running with hw transcoding now:
Imagine that 
LOLOLOL
I will look at this: /var/lib/dpkg/info/plexmediaserver.postinst: 298: [: Illegal number: ntel()
I have no idea where/why that would pop up after months of no changes.
hehe
Ok what I just tried now.
Your uploaded version - Works with hw transcoding.
The updated available version 1.22.2.4282 makes the server crash.
Just an FYI -
I’ve had no issues with kernels up 5.11.11
I haven’t tried 5.11.13 yet, but several friends have, and they didn’t like
Caused lots of issues
Hi
Im running 5.11.13 and Chucks upload works , but running a never version of Plex - kills plex instantly with a crash.
Server is currently running , indexing ans streaming, so for now… crossing my fingers. But im a bit worried to upgrade later on.
@ChuckPa whats the difference between your version vs the newer online version ?
Hw transcoding on the new version is crashing for me.
@ChuckPa your version crashed tonight 
Still unstable . Just disabled hw transcoding for now .
So it IS the kernel.
That failing matches the reports about 5.11.13
5.11.11 – at most
OR
wait.
Need any more ?

I need all that you can spare .
So if I should stay safe - what to do? I can spare the hw transcoding for now . Its powerfull enough to grind if needed
Should I just go with the standard kernel 5.4 for now ?
