On N100 and SA6400 I have poor speed - like the CPU is not fully recognize

I'm not sure if you're considering a VM like Proxmox or bare metal, but for beginners, I recommend starting with bare metal.
License subscription is a prerequisite for HW acceleration in Plex.

 

The mention of @Bullseye may seem like there is a problem with the SA6400's i915, but that is not the case.
This may be because he did not meet various conditions for transcoding.

trying to check if i915 installed and ready to work correctly... 

 

command dmesg | grep i915 gives such errors: 

 

[   44.852573] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] [ENCODER:73:DDI A/PHY A] failed to retrieve link info, disabling eDP

are they normal? do they mean that some decoders will not work?
