    I was hoping that the new kernel would support 'Intel Arc' GPU transcoding in docker containers.
    I can not get this to work.

     

    I switched from my GTX 1650 to the a310 the following way.
    Removed the Nvidia driver and removed the arguments for Nvidia in the Plex container.
    Shut down the system and replaced the Nvidia card.

    Looking around i found dev/dri was present:
      

    root@Tower:/dev/dri# ls -l
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root       120 Jul 16 14:59 by-path/
crwxrwxrwx 1 root video 226,   0 Jul 16 14:59 card0 (11th gen CPU)
crwxrwxrwx 1 root video 226,   1 Jul 16 14:59 card1 (Arc a310 GPU)
crwxrwxrwx 1 root video 226, 128 Jul 16 14:59 renderD128 (11th gen CPU)
crwxrwxrwx 1 root video 226, 129 Jul 16 14:59 renderD129 (Arc a310 GPU)


    Then I looked at Tools --> 'System Drivers' and found that the i915 driver was blacklisted.
    Tried to remove the blacklist argument and rebooted.
    It now says custom:
    i915Intel | Graphics | Custom | gpu/drm/i915
    After trying to install the 'Intel i915 SR-IOV' driver and rebooting, it was blacklisted again.

    No luck there.

    OK. Is the BIOS old?
    Followed instructions here: https://github.com/intel-gpu/intel-gpu-firmware

    Basically copy all the *.bin files into a directory named /lib/firmware/updates/i915/

    Reboot.
    Don't know if this did anything^^

     

    I also have the 'GPU stats' plugin. That shows nothing.

    Does the new kernel in 7.0-B2-support Arc GPU's?

    Linux 6.8.12-Unraid #3 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Jun 18 07:52:57 PDT 2024

    I have the dev/dri added as a device and the 'ExtraParameter' set to '--device=dev/dri' in my container (Official Plex Server).

    Any tips?

    For some reason GPU transcoding started working after I logged in to my Plex account?
    I was using it over local network before.
