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.)

#plex #selfhosting

@RxBrad GPU detected properly?
@pax0707 I think so? It randomly works, then stops working. Not sure if it was the updated ProxMox Kernel from updating a few days ago, or the latest Plex version. Or the new Plex repo?

@pax0707 @rusty1281 Fired up the same movie in Chrome and HW transcoding spins up just fine...

Maybe the Android client is jacked? The fails I've seen so far are from a Google Streamer & Chromecast.

@RxBrad @rusty1281 could be android client issue.

I live in a orchard and never had those issues.
