    Install the referenced plugin.  It will install the Nvidia driver and tools needed for transcoding in Docker containers.  If you don't care about this, no need to deal with it.  The plugin is more of a "work in process" right now and will mature over time, including being added to Community Apps.

     

    We didn't include the Nvidia vendor driver built-in to the release for several reasons:

    • The package is very large, over 200MB and no need for everyone to download this thing if they don't need it.
    • Including the driver "taints" the Linux kernel.  There is something of a longstanding war between the Linux community and Nvidia because large parts of the Nvidia are not open source.  Due to how the driver has to integrate into the kernel, this "taints" the kernel.  For us it means if we have an kernel-related issues, no developer will help out if they see the kernel is tainted.  Also don't want that message appearing in syslog by default :)
    • The Nvidia driver might change faster than we want to update Linux kernel.  In this case we can build and publish a new driver independent of Unraid OS release.

     

    Thank you very much it's work now. :)
