Real quick question that I didn't see the answers to with a quick glance.
Does this work with 6.6.6 or do you need to use one of the Next updates like rc3+?Oh, also, does this only work with Plex or Emby as mentioned or is there/will there be support for it to work with other applications (for example, Boinc)?
Oh yeah, and someone mentioned that Plex will only use a single GPU and only for encoding, no decoding. I'm assuming that means that it would make it useless to attach 2 GPUs to that container since the 2nd one would always be idle regardless of if there were multiple streams going on at once?
Thanks!
My understanding as well, only a single GPU. As for encoding/decoding, someone else mentioned in here that you can modify Plex to get encode/decode and that worked for me. I had to switch to beta branch to get 1.15. Then modify the "Plex Transcode" script to force nvidia hwenc. Then encoding and decoding worked.

Im using the official Plex Inc Docker. I followed instructions here to add variables required.
Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant TapatalkAwesome, thanks! I had to use the beta tag and get 1.15. Once I had that, I started seeing HW encode and decode!!!

I just followed what's in here to first enable the NVIDIA card on my Unraid server, then to enable access to the GPU on my PLEX docker, then I followed the instructions over at PLEX forum to create a workaround to enable the NVDEC. (see this link : Instructions for the script
It's only 2 lines of codes you put in a new file called "/usr/lib/plexmediaser/Plex Transcoder".
Step 1. Go inside the docker PLEX terminal, to /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/.
Step 2. Rename the file "Plex Transcoder" to "Plex Transcoder2"
Step 3. Create a script called "Plex Transcoder" (I use nano editor, apt-get update, apt-get install nano, yes to all questions), and put this code in it :
#!/bin/sh
/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Transcoder2 -hwaccel nvdec "$@"
This will tell call the Plex Transcoder and enable the decode part. Since it's a workaround, it won't show it Tautulli or in Plex Dashboard because plex doesn't know it decode hardware. You can see it working by running this command from the same Terminal inside plex docker:
nvidia-smi dmon -s u
There is column for enc. and one for dec., if it's not 0, it means it's working.
Did you need the custom version of Plex that was built in that thread or does it work with any Plex now? I'm running current binhex docker image.
Thanks!

I have the same issue, seems that it's not available in "nvidia-smi", I get "No devices were found". Any chance you are running Unraid in a VM? I'm running in Qemu on top of Proxmox. Wondering if that's my issue. I also have a P2000.
Got it working for anyone running Unraid on top of Qemu like Proxmox. I had to download a bios for the P2000 and include in the proxmox config:

Hello,
i am having an issue with adding the above instructions to an existing and a new plex docker. i am able to identify my GPU in the Nvidia Sceen and get the GUID.
Unraid Version - 6.7.0-rc3 with Nvidia
GPU - Quadro P2000
Below shows my setup in the docker followed by the error code i get when trying to apply. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, got busy and never saw this. When you use PlexMediaServer docker container. You can change the Repository to:
plexinc/pms-docker:beta
And then the env variable VERSION to "beta".
