Aha, so this is deliberate... Great. So the only officially supported Plex device that does work with HW transcoding is #BeeStationPlus.
Than I guess it was the right decision to look for another Plex compute server outside their portfolio.
#Synology #Plex #DS425 #DS225 #linux #QuickSync #selfhost #selfhosting #homelab #plexpass
Already 4 months since the #Synology 2025 models are out and #Plex hardware transcoding still doesn't work on the J4125 models (#DS425+ and #DS225+).
The 5.10 #linux kernel changes from Synology and the missing support to utilize the #QuickSync support are the main showstoppers.
With the release of the #Synology #DS225+, marks the final x25 model that came out in Q2/3.
