    Hi,

    Did you ever find a solution to this problem? It is driving me crazy!

     

    Just happen to see your post, and I think I have a similar issue. I have a Nvidia p2200, Plex uses it. I just recently setup Fileflows for compressing my library  What happens is Fileflows will use the GPU for a while, and all of a sudden it will just switch solely to the CPU. The only way I can get Fileflows to read the GPU again is to downgrade or upgrade the Nvidia driver and reboot. This caused a lot of issues setting up Fileflows, because I thought I was doing it wrong. LOL...For some reason decided to change the drivers, that's how I figured out something was wrong. After seeing your post I think Unraid is to blame.

      Sorry,  I thought I was already linking to it.

       

      MULTIPLE CONTAINERS UNABLE TO SHARE A GPU IN 6.10?https://forums.unraid.net/topic/123930-multiple-containers-unable-to-share-a-gpu-in-610/#comment-1130041

      I had similar issues with Plex and unmanic for a while. I set this script to start with the array and it runs in the back ground. What it does is it stops unmanic when Plex is using the GPU.

        

      #!/bin/bash
# Check if nvidia-smi daemon is running and start it if not.
if [[ `ps ax | grep nvidia-smi | grep daemon` == "" ]]; then
    /usr/bin/nvidia-smi daemon
fi

sleep 300 # Wait until array is online and all dockers are started. Comment this out if you are testing the script.

UNMANIC=`docker container ls -q --filter name=unmanic`

while true; do
    if [[ `/usr/bin/nvidia-smi | grep Plex` == "" ]]; then
        # If Plex is not transcoding, start the unmanic container if it is not running.
        if [[ `docker ps | grep $UNMANIC` == "" ]]; then
            echo "No Plex, starting unmanic."
            docker start $UNMANIC
        fi
    else
        # If Plex is transcoding, stop the unmanic container if it is running.
        if [[ `docker ps | grep $UNMANIC' != "" ]]; then
            echo "Plex running, stopping unmanic."
            docker stop $UNMANIC
        fi
    fi
    sleep 1
done

       

      It's not ideal, but it seems to have solved the issue. I was running another copy of this for t-Rex miner at one point and it seems nvidia killed mining on the LHR card all together.

      I started with unmanic, but I couldn't get the GPU to work.  Now I know why. Sort of glad it happened because I came across FileFlows, works really well when my card stays connected LOL.  I have pushed the card a little to 7 encodes at a time. Works great. Don't know if you have tried FileFlows, might be worth a look. Thanks for getting back to me. Much appreciated.
