Hi... looked at other posts but they seem to deal with LXCs rather than VMs. I am looking at running Plex in Docker running on an Ubuntu 20.04 VM. I was trying to ensure HW transcoding support by verifying Quick Sync but am not sure if it is working.
My CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10710U CPU, which is listed as supported on the Intel site. Within the Ubuntu VM config I have the Display set to "default" and KVM hardware virtualization is set to "Yes".
I read on an Intel site that I should run the following command to check if the proper driver is in use: lspci -v -s $(lspci | grep VGA | cut -d" " -f 1) and that if running I should see the following: Kernel driver in use: i915
Within the shell of the ProxMox host I get the following output and it does have the correct driver indicated.

I tried running: sudo apt install intel-media-va-driver libmfx1 libva2 libva-drm2 to install the driver inside Ubuntu but unless I proceed with the Plex install I am not sure if it is set up correctly given that the Ubuntu does not list the right Kernel driver in use. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
