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.)

Manually rolled Plex back to 1.43.0.10492-121068a07 via the .deb, and I'm able to enable HDR Tonemapping again without breaking 11th Gen Intel HW transcoding to SDR Google TV streamers.

So, it looks like v.1.43.1.10540-3972d551c breaks HDR Tonemapping. (I thought I was pulling that it from the Plex apt repo, but it was apparently from the TTeck autoupdate script. So I disabled that.)

@pax0707 I did that last week. I was using a Proxmox TTeck update script that was essentially ignoring it though, and it was apparently installing the newest beta .deb. I put a stop to that and reverted to stable.

@RxBrad I like those scripts for fast testing but never use them for “prod”.
