Sorry for bringing this up again but this seems to still be an issue.
I'm running 6.8 rc7 with the current binhex plex docker and my P600 does HW transcoding for everything except HEVC 10 bit HDR.
I'm aware that HEVC 10bit 4:4:4 NVDEC is not supported. However, a file with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling should be decoded by the card but is not. Does anyone have a clue as to why that is?
SOLVED: Since updating to 6.8.1 to the P600 transcodes large HEVC 10bit HDR files. I suspect that the driver update from 440.36 to 440.44 might have solved the issue.

It falls back to CPU and maxes out my E3-1240 V2 which leads to a fail on Apple TV. The video plays but stutters heavily in the browser. In short, it falls back to CPU which can lead to a failure if the stream.
Interestingly enough, a file with the same profile but less size/bandwidth (20GB/47Mbps compared to 70GB/170Mbps) is transcoded just fine.

Hey, sorry I can't answer your question, but I'm interested in what happens when it doesn't do hardware transcoding on this - does it just fall back to CPU? Or does it fail some other way? Thanks.

Chroma Subsampling 4:2:0

This is also the only thing that is too slow to do in software transcoding with my i7-2700K, so I bought a gtx 1050 ti to do it in HW instead, to be able to play these movies over the internet on a remote location. According to the Video encode and decode support matrix:
https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-gpu-support-matrix
it looks like it should work. Is enyone else getting this to function in plex?
If not, and this is not supported or functional in plex, what kind of hardware do I need to be able to do this in software transcoding?

Anyone know WHEN the 6.8.1 is going to be out? I wont update till its out! Why is it so long after? 24 hours is acceptable not Dayzzzzzzzzz
L33You do not deserve this in the first place. What a shameful attitude, telling the volunteer developers what you think is acceptable.

Thanks for confirming, I'll be interested to see your findings on v6.8.0 final.
I will perform the update during the holidays and report back to you.
In the meantime I have sent a donation your way. Thanks to everybody contributing to this project! Your work truly has improved my quality of life.
Since the donate link is buried in this thread, I’m posting it below, in case other people feel compelled to donate as well. 😊

Then it may just be nvidia-smi isn't supported. Try to transcode with it anyway. Nvidia-smi is a CLI tool for interacting with the card, not necessary for it's use.
Have you used previous versions of the Unraid plugin without issue?
Or is this the first time you've tried?
Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk
I have been using a Quadro P600 from the earliest Nvidia Unraid builds with nvidia-smi and am currently running 6.8.0-rc7 without any issues regarding transcoding and using nvidia-smi commands.
Hope this helps.
I would also like send my heartfelt thanks to everybody involved with the plugin and the builds! Your work is truly appreciated!

If it has hw twice then it is. But there is a command like watch nvidia smi.....I forget it though and I can’t remember where I found it lol sorry

Need some quick guidance to make sure I've got this done correctly for Unraid 6.6.7 Stable with a P2000.
- install Plex by linuxerver.io
-
Install nVidia by linuxserver.io
- open the plugin's page and select from the left dropdown what.... says nvidia 6.6.6 or 6.7.0rc1-4 ... do I select 6.6.6? or have to update my build to an rc version?
Facing the same situation, I chose to upgrade to a RC version. No regrets so far bu I understand if you are reluctant.

As long as you use the current script version as Cessquill indicated, it will check to see if the patch is applied each time it's run. I have mine set to run nightly, after my backup and Docker containers update.

Thanks! The script by Xaero works great with the User Scripts plugin.

One can also install the CA User Scripts plugin and do this from the web UI, and even set a scheduled run to keep it patched in the event of Plex container updates.
26 minutes ago, Cessquill said:No problems. Two points...
- Another user updated on this patch a bit later in this thread. It auto-sets the con variable for you, and only runs if it hasn't done already. I'll update mine shortly with that
- Forgot to mention that it's best to run it using the User Scripts plugin - you can copy and paste it straight into the plugin and run it there. It's then saved for running in the future.
Edit: @JasonM beat me to it.
Thank you both for these inputs. I will install CA User Scripts. Can the script be run regularly without any undesired effects, or should it only be run after an update of the Plex container?

Put this together earlier. If it's correct, it's a User Script that applies the Plex hardware decoding patch...
#!/bin/bash con="plex" echo "" echo "<font color='red'><b>Applying hardware decode patch...</b></font>" echo "<hr>" docker exec -i $con mv "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Transcoder" "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Transcoder2" docker exec -i $con /bin/sh -c 'printf "#!/bin/sh\nexec /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Transcoder2 -hwaccel nvdec "\""\$@"\""" > "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Transcoder";' docker exec -i $con chmod +x "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Transcoder" docker exec -i $con chmod +x "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Transcoder2" docker restart $con echo "" echo "<font color='red'><b>Done!</b></font>"
Disclaimer: I know very little about bash, docker commands or what the above patch actually does. It's just pieced together from working out how I think it's done manually and converting that into a script.
If it can be improved (or if it's dangerously wrong), please let me know. If it's fine, I'll put it in the User Scripts area.
Notes:
- Should be run when Plex is installed/updated
- From the command line, run "docker ps" to see what your plex container is called. Set that as the "con" variable in your script (mine is "plex")
- This script is only required until Plex officially supports hardware decoding
-
It preforms the same as recommended earlier in this thread, namely...
- Renames the file "Plex Transcoder" to "Plex Transcoder2"
- Creates a new "Plex Transcoder" file with the suggested contents
- Changes permissions on both "Plex Transcoder" and "Plex Transcoder2" files (not sure it's required on Transcoder2 - seemed to work for me without)
- Restarts the Plex container (not sure if required, but doing it anyhow)
- Probably best nothing is playing whilst the script is run
- You'll need to have Plex running for the script to work. Would require different code if stopped (would probably be safer to stop the container first, make the changes then start again, but here we are)
- Run "nvidia-smi dmon -s u" from the terminal (not within Plex container) to check whether the decoding is working. Set a video to play in a transcoded state, and the 3rd and 4th columns from the end should be non-zero
Good luck!
Thank you for this script and a massive thank you to everybody involved with this project!👏
Worked flawlessly on 6.7.0-rc4 with an NVIDIA Quadro P600.
In case a non-programmer like me will run into the same question I have, here is the exact procedure which worked for me:
- Copy the script into an editor
- Modify the "con" value (e.g. "binhex-plexpass")
- Save as an .sh file
- Copy to desired folder on Unraid server (if not working on server already)
- Open terminal from Unraid webgui and enter "bash /path/to/script.sh

Thanks for the quick reply. This sounds like an improvement to my current situation. In order to change between the fan modes you describe (optimal, standard, full) I currently have to select them manually through IPMI. Thank you for your efforts and have a beer on me!

I'm waiting on a CPU for my Supermicro X10 board. As soon as I get that and swap out my system. I'll make it a priority.
As I'm also using a SM X9 board, I would like to ask if you have an updated regarding compatibility with this series? Thank you in advance!
Jitsi?

I would be very interested as well!
