driver should be ok as you have devices in /dev/dri

videostation us usually usable with a patch

https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/49961-synocodectool-patch-for-dsm-70/

but plex should be working with just the driver and plexpass (license needed to use hardware transcoding with plex)

maybe try  this instead of plex https://synocommunity.com/package/jellyfin that should also work with just the i915 driver and hardware transcoding is free ootb to use

Well, I used a vaild SN number and signed in synology account. And the plex pass has been purchased. Then I used jellyfin and failed at hw transcode.

for all with newer coffeelake cpu's like i3 9100 having problems using hardware transcoding in video station and /dev/dri persent

 

looks like the problem it within video station 2.4.7 and below

synology has a newer version 2.4.9 that came out after dsm 6.2.3 (and its new i915 driver mainly for geminilake x20+ systems)

https://archive.synology.com/download/Package/spk/VideoStation/2.4.9-1626/VideoStation-x86_64-2.4.9-1626.spk

 

the patcher for codecs and transcoding (https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/24864-transcoding-without-a-valid-serial-number/) still works with this version

 

to get dts/truehd audio to work it needs a wrapper, external ffmpeg and patching the libsynovte.so from video station

the steps (including the patch above for serial number problem) need to repeated when a new video station version is installed

a description for the dts/truehd audio fix is here:

https://gist.github.com/BenjaminPoncet/bbef9edc1d0800528813e75c1669e57e#gistcomment-3119240

this is the ffmpeg i used

https://synocommunity.com/package/ffmpeg or newer version https://github.com/th0ma7/synology/tree/master/packages

 

BUT: if the external ffmepg is used with the wrapper the hardware transcoding fails, might be a problem with the wrapper or the ffmpeg

so you need to decide between dts/truehd or hardware transcoding (at least for now)

 

just in case the link gets invalid here is the text and i will attach the wrapper file that is downloaded
