Plex seems to be randomly & unpredictably falling back to software transcoding for the last day or two... I think it's an HDR thing? (And unfortunately, almost all of my stuff is HDR.)

@RxBrad Can't say that I have had any similar issues on any of the plex servers. Currently running the latest beta on all of them.
@rusty1281 My suspicion is that updating the Proxmox kernel yesterday might've broken HDR tonemapping in my Plex LXC or something...

@rusty1281 @RxBrad same.

If it breaks it usually breaks for everything and it’s mostly related to updates breaking video drivers.

@pax0707 @rusty1281 It seems that the Plex beta release in question isn't playing nice with QuickSync.

Added my issue to the pile...

Server Version#: 1.43.1.10540 Player Version#: After updating to the last beta version, version 1.43.1.10540 , GPU (hardware) transcoding no longer worked for me.

I enabled debug and trace logs, and found this entry: [Req#5a3d58/Transcode/8da8b6f6-eb8d-4ef3-92e9-bf370e3e7e63] TPU: hardware transcoding: ena...

@RxBrad @pax0707 Just tested with all my servers again, and it does work just fine. J4125 and N150 (1.43.1.10540)
