Just no point even trying to sync content to my phone until this is resolved.

I have plex installed via DOCKER, I can't activate hw transcoding. I have added /dev/dri and it doesn't work, does not show hw in transcoding. Attached a view from transcoding in PLEX pannel control and container details.djonesuk wrote: ↑12 Mar 2023, 05:12 I haven't been able to get hw transcoding working on Plex since upgrading to TOS 5.1. I was on TOS 4.x before and it worked just fine. As a workaround, I have installed the official Plex docker image and hw transcoding is working just fine after passing through /dev/dri - so it doesn't look like a kernel issue but something is wrong the userland/libraries in TOS.
Model: F5-221
TOS: 5.1.24
Plex Media Server: 1.3.1
What could I do to enable hw transcoding? It consumes a lot of resources from my TNAS currently.
Model: F2-243
TOS: 5.1.29
Plex Media Server: 1.32.0.6918 with Plex Pass Lifetime

From memory I passed through /dev/dri via a bind mount, set envs PLEX_UID=1009 PLEX_GID=6 and enabled privilege mode for the container. Hope that helps

I bought this device (F5-221) because of hardware transcoding but it doesn't work. Is there a solution or do I have to return it?

I have set these values and doesn't work. I have tried many setup, I'm not a specialist (hehehe) but I'm persistent. At first I couldn't even claim the server. Researching and reading I was able to configure Plex via ssh with the following code:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
sudo chmod 777 /dev/dri /dev/dri/card0 /dev/dri/renderD128
docker create \
--name=plex \
--net=host \
-e VERSION=latest \
-e PUID=0 \
-e PGID=0 \
-e TZ=Europe/Madrid \
-e PLEX_CLAIM=XXXXXXXXXXX \
-v /home/user/Multimedia/config/plex:/config \
-v /home/user/Multimedia:/media \
-v /home/user/Transcode:/transcode \
--device /dev/dri:/dev/dri \
--device /dev/dri/card0:/dev/dri/card0 \
--device /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128 \
--restart unless-stopped \
lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest
docker start plex
docker exec plex apt-get -y update
docker exec plex apt-get -y install i965-va-driver vainfo
docker restart plex

you can return it whether it's TM or Plex no one moves for the problem. (I still assume that the problem comes from TM and not Plex because in the TOS 4 version and the same version of Plex the transcoding works). I am used to this situation because even with a rollback from TOS 5 to 4 I have a problem launching the Plex application. So I'm sticking with TOS 5 and a Plex that runs my CPU at 100% every time I watch. no possibility of playing 2 videos at the same time whereas before the transition to TOS5 I could read 4-5 simultaneously!
