[Help with Garuda Linux VM]

Did you had any luck solving this problem, already?

Having the same issue with Linux Mint distro.

In your screenshots, I see you have subtitles selected (English (SRT)).  Plex has, in the past and maybe still, used CPU transcoding when there are subtitles.  Retry your test without subtitle selected.

 

Also, be sure that you do not have leading or trailing space char on your GPU ID in the Plex template.  I've been burned by this before.

 

Thanks for your reply.

My experience with SRT subs is that they don't cause CPU transcoding, while burnt-in subs do.

Now I see what's missing you have an error in your template it should be NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES not NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICE

 

OMG, thank you! This solved it for me.

 

In Plex Server settings, now the GPU card is visible in the transcoder options:

 

Now HW transcoding two streams simultaneously, on iPhone and on LG TV.

 

 

The stream on the TV is a 4K movie, transcoding to 720P for testing purposes, works as a charm.

 

CPU load is only 12% with 2 streams HW transcoding, instead of 32% before with 1 stream in CPU transcoding. The GPU is humming at 11% load.

 

Both streams also visible in nvidia-smi.

 

@ich777 Thanks for your keen eye in discovering this typo error on my part.

Are you sure that you've entered a Plex token so that the container knows that you are even able to transcode?

I didn't up until now, thanks for that. So, entered my plex_claim:

However, this doesn't solve it.

Are you sure you did force a transcode? Set the quality to something lower, but please don't use the Plex Web App since it is known to cause issues and not work correctly.

I think I do. Requsting Plex to transcode by requesting a different video quality (e.g. 10Mbps 1080p) in the Plex player (in this case on my iPhone).

 

So still CPU transcoding.

Hi ich777,

Thanks for your swift response.

Tried putting "--runtime=nvidia" in Extra Parameters, but this doesn't help apparently.

 

 

Transcoding keeps using CPU, not GPU:

Hoping someone can help, have searched for 2 days now.

New Unraid Server, Unraid 6.12.4, HP DL380 G9 with nVidia Quadro P2000 GPU. Can't get Plex to use HW transcoding.

 

Using Production Branch driver in nVidia Plugin Settings.

 

Based on forums tips, I have Plex docker settings like this

 

 

And these in Plex Server Settings:

 

Still, when forcing transcoding, no HW transcoding is used, only CPU is used.

 

Double checking with "watch nvidia-smi" in Unraid Terminal, shows the GPU isn't working.

 

Posting diagnostics too.

Assistance very much appreciated. 🙂

[[Support] SpaceinvaderOne - Macinabox]

As reported by others, no scripts are created, neither in the scripts-folder "/boot/config/plugins/user.scripts/scripts/", neither in the appdata folder of MacInABox.

 

Output of my terminal window:

root@srv-master:~# ls /boot/config/plugins/user.scripts/scripts/
delete.ds_store/  delete_dangling_images/  viewDockerLogSize/

 

The docker has been running for 20 minutes now, no scripts created. I suspect download of the ISO is not ongoing, as CPU load is 0%.

Please advise.
