Hi, thanks for this awesome collection!
Deploying your Plex LXC script made it way easier to get QuickSync hardware transcoding working than the manual attempts at VM passthrough that I never got right... or so I thought, until I tried a 4K HDR video which doesn't use hardware.
Unfortunately from the links below, it seems the Plex team recommends using Ubuntu 20.04 as a base, and that no 21.x version will permit hardware transcoding for HDR tone mapping.
Can you discuss the rationale behind updating the base Ubuntu image here?
