I just upgraded my Linux install where the DVR runs in a effort to sort out some other issues - now I lost the option to enable hardware transcoding in the web UI - always used it before - running on Intel i7 setup that normally fully supports it - do I need to re-enable something on the linux side?
Which group owns the devices in /dev/drm, and what groups does the user that channels-dvr runs as belong to?
IIRC, the owner of the DRM nodes changed from video to render (or vice versa), so you man need to add the Channels user to the other group.

Good advice - I added the user to "render" group (had only included "video" etc previously) and all is well again - this was needed when upgrading from Ubuntu 19-something to 20-something
