sorry for the duplicated thread, I realized this would be a better place to put it... This took a while, and I want to just try to restate it from memory. Prereqs: -A Domain (That you can change the name servers of i.e namecheap) -A host (I used Github pages, ymmv with other providers or self hosting) -Cloudflared (Can be downloaded through trueNAS) I just want to get out this information because its worked really well for me. https://youtu.be/ey4u7OUAF3c?si=1FdVMGuXJts5OTu_ You want to use this networkchuck video to get cloudflared setup, when you click the docker option you can just copy the auth token part of the command and copy it to the trueNAS setup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AgT4NHeg58 Then you want to setup your github pages using this video. With this things have become so much simplier, i can easily access the plex and immich that im hosting on hexos. setting up immich on iOS means instead of typing out an IP with a port i can enter immich,mydomain.com and ive actually made a webpage for mydomain.com with links for all of this so if im ever on a new device its so simple. I hope yall find this as useful as i have. and if anyone could make a better in-depth guide be my guest, I'd like there to be one that doesn't neccisarily rely on youtube videos that could be taken down.

Update: I got Intel iGPU HW decoding to work. I really do think this has to do with file/folder with permissions when installing from HexOS UI. I installed Plex (plex pass image) from the TrueNas Scale UI Setup the User ID and Group ID to 569 (becasue my original Plex install was using 568) Web Port 32401 (again becasue original Plex install was using 32400) Checked off "Host Network" Set up the Data, and Cofiguration Storage locations all as ixVolume (Dataset created automatically by the system) Setup Logs and Transcode Storage as Temporary (Temporary directory created on the disk) Add additional storage locations. In my case I only use Plex for Movies and TV shows so if you need Pictures, Videos, etc.. add those as well Type (Host path that already exists on the system) Mount Path /Movies Host Path /mnt/HDDs/Movies The make one for Shows Type (Host path that already exists on the system) Mount Path /Shows Host Path /mnt/HDDs/Shows select your options for CPU and Memody dont forget to check Passthrough available for (non Nvidia GPUs) Next we need to make a new User and Group in True NAS so navigate to Credentials then Users Name it whatever you want "Plex 2" in my case disable password UID 569 Uncheck Create New Primary Group Primary group select apps home directory /mnt/HDDs/Aplications I clicked ALL the permissions for Read Write and Execute Unclick SMB User Save Now we need to create a Group In TrueNAS navigate to Credentials then Groups GID 569 Add Local Administrator to the Privelages selection The Last thing we need to do is give our user and group 569 access to the SMB shares on TrueNAS Navigate to Datasets in TrueNAS then Movies click edit on the permissions button Now add Item Who is set to User User is set to whatever you named your User in the previous step. In my case it is "Plex2" it shoud be in the drop down list. under permissions select Full Control Click Apply permissions Recursively and confisr the selection then continue. Now add another item Who is set to Group Group is set to whatever you named your Group in the previous step. In my case it is "Plex2" it shoud be in the drop down list. under permissions select Full Control Click Apply permissions Recursively and confisr the selection then continue. Now click Save Access Control List. You should now be able to launch your Plex app and go toyour transcode settings, select your iGPU and transcode hapily ever after!! If this doesnt wor for you i would also try changing the permissions in the aplications forlder for your plex user. it is my understanding that inorder to transcode plex needs to be able to execute commands and unpack folders it downloads inorder to be able to HW transcode. but im not 100% sure.

Have you tried removing the ".tmp" extension as suggested here? I had to do that before transcoding would work for me.
