Hey guys, I am struggling with enabling the hardware transcoding in Plex using the intel iGPU
I have Electric Eel running on:
CPU: E3-1245v6
MB: X11SSH-F
It is a supermicro server mother board and xeon cpu with integrated gpu.
The thing about the hardware is that the mb doesn’t have video output port so I can use the iGPU only in headless mode.
It is recognized by TrueNAS or at least I see it with lspci

When I exec to the Plex I see the following:
# ls -l /dev/dri
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 226, 0 Mar 2 15:15 card0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 226, 1 Mar 2 15:15 card1
crw-rw---- 1 root 107 226, 128 Mar 2 15:15 renderD128
Yet from the TrueNAS UI I cannot select the iGPU nor in the Plex settings I can enable hardware transcoding…
Any help would be appreciated.
