I just updated to dsm 7.2 DS920+ and realized afterwards that apparently /dev/dri/ is no longer available. I have an old board with a J4105. I would really appreciate a hint to get hw transcoding working again. The board is an ASRock 90-MXB6N0-A0UAYZ if that helps

Simply WOW!! Thanks for the ultra fast answer and help. As fas as I know Xpenology wont support integrated GPU like the one in the Ryzen 7 5700G, then that means no transcoding on EMBY or Plex, right?

Did you manage this yet ? I'm on update 5 and cant get transcoding to work.

Hello guys, I'm trying to change my 2 NAS from the old platform with i7-4770T / 4790T and Jun's loader 1.04b running smoothly DSM 6.2.3 since years to a more recent stuff with DSM 7 because Synology seems to plan stopping maintenance of old DSM and apps. So I'm quite new in the TCRP world, I'm discovering it, and I decided of this occasion to bought more recent PC parts : a Intel 10500T (seems to be the max supported for i915 driver, shame on me I noticed too late my 12500T is too recent) on a MSI B460I, this mobo has a 2.5Gbs Ethernet port but it's a RTL8125B, and from I read here and there, unluckily it seems not to be the best one (but no as bad as mobo with buggy firmware revision of the i225-V), too bad for me. Strange behavior I encounter is the network card is every time up and running when on the ARPL menu, never an issue. But when it's time to boot DSM loader after configuration already done (model, build, real SN and MAC to build loader), I noticed net interface goes down then up (like if ARPL free it), and 9 times on 10 the network card won't "fully" goes up (just the left side orange LED is blinking like always or sleeping or waiting WOL packet, but the green one on right side still OFF). I'm obliged to push Reset button because no keyboard response / no SSH of course, go to Configure loader in Grub choice, do some insignificant changes, then the option to build the loader is offered in the menu and sometimes with big luck and the planets aligned, the loader boots successfully... For curiosity, I also trying ARC (ARPL fork, I know it's not the topic here) and I noticed the issue is the same. I tried build 42962 on models DS918+ & DS920+ as I want to keep hardware transcoding working and benefit SSD read/write cache but now on NVMe instead of SATA. By the way to play a little and tests more deeply, I managed to activate the R/W cache thanks to Peter Suh's NMVe patch, which caused the server to restart, I used the Synology like usual several hours, and then on a later restart, it no longer boots DSM. But I precise, with all my past tries, I didn't even play with NVMe cache, I'm just trying to understand to have the DSM sure to boot every time, that's my first concern of the moment (=NMVe patch didn't broke something). To sum up, it seems the DSM boots in a little more sure way from the Menu than automatically (Grub first choice). Did I'm missing something obvious ? Or just the RTL8125B is sh*tty ? Maybe time to pass the network interface from ARPL to DSM is too short for DSM to claim it ? I'm open to your ideas and cross tests scenarios

Hi all! I just tried a GTX 1650 VGA card in a custom built nas (Asrock H410M-itx mobo, i3-10100 CPU, 16GB DDR4 RAM. If i use DVA3221 loader, must use the VGA card to get AI functions, but my nas power consumption was 26W before without card, and after i pushed into a slot, jumped to a very high 84W with card. It's an idle consumpltion with some running apps, not transcoding, not anything that lifted CPU use over 5%. What's the difference between DVA3221 image +GTX1650, and DVA1622 + integrated intel VGA AI functions? I use 2 cameras only. At this point i am will be satisfied with that two cameras, if i get SAME AI functions. Thanks for reply!

Your Optiplex 7010 appears to be using an Intel 3rd Gen i7-3770. The limitations of the DS920+ have already been explained in the first capture provided above. It says that Intel 4th Gen Haswell or later is required. That's why this part goes into the limited model. In the past, by chance, I had successfully installed the 3rd generation Intel DS920+, but it was an unusual case and could not be stabilized. It's too risky to force Intel 3rd GEN to try. It seems more likely that it has nothing to do with memory failure. If necessary, please perform a self-memory test. In the 3rd generation of Intel, transcoding is impossible.

Hello @Peter Suh... just found this singular thread you wrote, which is similar in general nature to something I just recently ran into myself. I have been running a Dell Optiplex 7010 with 8GB RAM, RAID1 2x8GB WD Red Drives for 4+ years on DSM 6.x (3615xs) with Jun's older boot loader. Thanks to your input, I made the jump and leap of faith to DSM 7.1.x using your excellent M-Shell w/Friend (0.9.4.3-2) to 3622xs, with real SN/MAC's. It went effortlessly and smoothly - THANK YOU! Just recently, using the same 8GB USB successfully upgraded the 3622xs to 7.2-64561 no issues, running flawlessly. 🤠 I have been wanting to utilize the HW Transcoding for a while now. I took a new 8GB USB and your M-Shell w/Friend (0.9.4.3-2), did a test baremetal install on a Dell Precision 3630 and 920+ image, also 2x12GB, configured, booted and loaded DSM without any issue, as a build test. Having the success above on the Precision, I completely erase the 8GB USB, re-installed a fresh copy of your M-Shell w/Friend (0.9.4.3-2). I shutdown the Optiplex 7010, removed its current USB and put it aside, for obvious reasons. I put the newly created 8GB USB into the Optiplex 7010 and went through the whole build process for the 920+ also using real SN/MAC's, built fine. System boots up fine, I get the whole Welcome/Migration screen, I have moments earlier, downloaded the 920+ 7.2-64561 PAT file to my laptop, pointed to the downloaded file....it just like your above thread, it dies at 55%. I even re-tried the whole process and letting it download from Synology, still fails. I thought it might be the fact I am using Safari (which has never been a problem before), so I tried with Chrome, still fails. Given that DSM 6.x installed, has been running fine...DSM 7.1.x installed and has been running, upgraded to 7.2.x and running fine... I feel like it's unlikely in my situation to be a memory problem, but sure it could be. I am more than happy to get you any logs or info, if I know what/where/how to get it for you... Any ideas on a resolution? Curious, other than this instance, I have had no issues with the 920+ testing, I could not find anything indicting why it was in the "restricted model" section. 🤔 Thank you for the long hard fought hours, creativity and amazing productivity in what you made possible, truly APPRECIATED!

Work on DS920+ dsm 7.1.1 - cpu G5500 Id: 3E91, /dev/dri missing. Now HW transcoding working perfect.

For a workaround , I have created a small Photon OS VM in Esxi purely to run plex in docker , with quick sync HW transcoding , mapping media from a Xpenology VM . Hopefully with time some experts will discover a way of backporting i915 drivers for 11th gen and onward intel CPU's /iGPU so I can consolidate Appreciate everyone's time , advise , and expertise .

[i915.ko patched for i9-9900K DS920+ 7.2-64561 under ESXi8] - for today: 1. I checked the operation in baremetal mode - the driver is loaded, /dev/dri appears, HW-transcoding is working. 2. I could not find errors loading the i915 driver or connecting the iGPU in the file /var/log/messages, and I didn't find any obvious differences there between loading the test (where the iGPU works) and the main DSM. 3. I see noticeable differences in the output of the command lspci -tvnnq : Emerging questions: a) as I understand it, this difference is the reason for the unavailability of iGPU in the main DSM b) perhaps one of the reasons is the presence of an passthroughed SATA controller in the main DSM с) is it possible to fix the situation with DSM or bootloader settings? d) is it possible that replacing the DS920+ model with the DS918+ will fix the situation? (I'll try to test it)

Yeah I'd prefer not to , but it was the only way I was going to get hardware transcoding on the 11th Gen CPU I have, as there are the i915 and other modules backported by jim3ma .

I got mine working finally by turning off my internet during the install process. I now have 7.1.1-U5 working with HW i915 transcoding on an i7-10700. I used jim3ma's loader

Ok , despite /dev/dri been present and the i915 module loading , I don’t seem to be able to get HW transcoding in Plex docker, I think the modules perhaps aren't compatible with 7.2 looks like its not just a case of copying the module from 7.1 , or I’ve missed some dependencies

@pocopico @Peter Suh I was able to get Jim3ma loader to boot on Esxi by passing a Physical USB to the VM (Esxi 8.0U1) I can reach the initial webpage were you would normally install the .pat file, but it detects no disks ? Does his loader have the require modules would you know ? There doesn’t seem to be an option to add any ? I’m ready to try a passthrough of my 11th gen IGPU , but unfortunately I get no disks ? Would really like to get 11th gen transcoding working in ESXi

I've lost Plex hw transcoding after upgrading to 7.2 official release on 10th gen i3. It was working on 7.1.

Following , Interested in using on a PC with 11th Gen intel CPU and would like HW transcoding for Plex. I generally use ESXI for my RedPill builds, understand this isnt possible on this model . Has anyone tried a work around using a physical USB passed through and a boot loader ? Thanks

Do we have confirmation that intel transcoding works on this? Edit: I get no drives detected. I have both an MSATA and a SATA SSD.

Is it possible to install something like DS920+ (a 4 bay drive) using redpill, on a system that has more than 4 harddrives? Will DSM 7.x see all the drives? I was originally planning on using DS3622xs+, but was informed that it does not support hardware transcoding. I need something that can support more drives (up to 8) and still use hardware transcoding.

10th gen cpu's funktioniert nicht ootb mit syno's eigenem i915 treiber entweder den treiber ersetzen https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/65055-alder-lake-build-with-hw-transcoding/?do=findComment&comment=442757 oder man geht gleich auf kernel 5.x mit einem triber der bis 11th gen kann https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/68067-develop-and-refine-sa3600broadwellnk-and-sa6400epyc7002-thread/ ist aber etwas heikel da der dev die aktuellste version hinter einer paywall hat, die letzte öffentliche im blog von ende märz funktioniert aber in der regel

Successful installed DS920+ with hardware transcoding on Zimaboard 832 & 10gbe Mellanox ConnectX-3 running Proxmox. Also, got a 3D printed bracket for the Zimaboard.

https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/24864-transcoding-without-a-valid-serial-number/?do=findComment&comment=439520 and there is also https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/65643-ame-30-patcher/ in theory the files in arpl should be the same as these @fbelavenuto

Has anyone tried this with 7.1.1 42962-5 and does it work ? I see in the patch.sh script you would need to add 7.1.1 42962-5 as an available OS version, but don't want to upgrade to 7.1.1 42962-5 and then try the patch and may lose transcoding support if it doesn't work.

@Orphée thanks. After disable secureboot. It works. Dva1622 install successfully but Ai not working. Changing device ID does not work. Hw transcoding also not working. Tried it with plex. To test that igpu passthrough successful. I install windows and ubuntu and and gpu works on both os.

@IG-88 Thanks, sry for the off topic. Didnt see. I dont mind about HW Transcoding, just wanna run the 2.5Gbit Adapter. Need to figure out how. The installed gemini lake driver doesnt give me a third entry under network attachments for the dongle so far. Before on a org. Synology it was working flawless.
