Needed to install Intel drivers and rename libraries in Plex Jail to get this to work #13

My system: FreeNAS 11.3U4.1 running on an i5-4690K in a Gigabyte Z97M-Gaming-5 motherboard, using an HDMI dummy dongle.

I had to follow some of the additional steps outlined in this Plex forum thread:

https://forums.plex.tv/t/enable-hardware-acceleration-support-for-bsd-based-plex-servers/236120/104

Specifically, I had to: install the intel-driver and intel-media-driver packages in the Plex Jail I had to copy the driver files into the /usr/local/share/plexmediaserver-plexpass/lib/dri folder (they were not there) I had to rename the various libraries that were included in the plexpass/lib folder that are obsoleted by newer ones in the Jail's /usr/local/lib folder.

Once I did that it started working.

That sounds like a Plex-specific issue. I'd take it up in the forums there so it can be fixed in a future version.

Yes it's Plex specific, but this entire article is about getting Plex to work. Plex has said they aren't supporting 11.3 of FreeBSD, only 12.0, so no point in complaining.
