Plex Media Server with N150: Transcoding?

[qbirdee]

Hi,

It seems that my hardware transcoding is not working. I did some searching, seems maybe its due to my processor being relatively new, an Intel N150.

Sounds like I need to update my kernel... If I update my Proxmox kernel to 6.11, will that do it? How do I update the Plex LXC container then to pick up on the new kernel? Or do I also need to update the LXC's kernel. And then there's the Intel drivers...

Any ideas would be great. :) Thanks.

Solved it.

Basically needed to update the Proxmox kernel to 6.14:

After reboot, spun up a new Plex LXC container using the standard VE script. The Intel transcoder was automatically recognized and configured, working great!
