Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (32-bit Plex only) The following versions of Windows are supported: Plex - Supported Windows OS Desktop Table of contents Supported Windows versions Installing Plex Media Server Supported Windows versions I highly recommend you install the 64-bit version as it includes functionality such as HDR to SDR tone mapping. There are two versions of Plex available for Windows: 32-bit and 64-bit. Plex says a public release is “soon”.Installing Plex Media Server on a Windows machine is very easy. I got an advanced developer build of PMS that has newer Intel media drivers and it does enable hardware transcoding AND HDR tone mapping for both of my Alder Lake servers.

Hardware transcoding does work for higher end Alder Lake CPUs, such as the i5-1240P. Neither hardware transcoding nor HDR tone mapping works for Alder Lake-N (e.g. As of April 22, 2023, the built-in PMS Intel media drivers don’t have full support for hardware transcoding and HDR tone mapping across all Alder Lake (12th Gen) GPUs. Getting both driver stacks to support your GPU can be challenging for both hardware transcoding and HDR tone mapping. The PMS media drivers are not something you have any control over. In my case, Intel GPU drivers for Ubuntu 22.04 (the LXC OS) and Alder Lake 2) Plex Media Server (PMS) built-in media drivers that support your specific GPU. Getting Plex hardware transcoding and HDR tone mapping to work requires two components: 1) The Plex LXC GPU drivers for your Proxmox host GPU.
