Confirmed! I just tested it. Works perfectly! Thank you very much - just wondering why this didn't popup yet... anyway thanks for the quick response and solution!
best regards
GPU is only ENCODING by default - yes, you would need the patch until official support of Plex.
But as i postet right now - it seems to have a drawback in some constellations ... but generally the patch works, yes!
Anyone else noticed that if the "DEcoding Patch" is enabled - after a successfull DEcoding - the Process of this DEcoding will be stuck?
And no - there is nothing paused in Plex - no stream is going on or is paused (also checked with Tautuli)
If I leave the Plex Container unpatched - the streams dissapear - as they should - but with the patch - the DECODING processes, and ONLY the decoding processes will stay there until a Docker reboot. So after the second or third stream what happens is that the DECODING is done via CPU (checked)
Another poster a few sites before had the same situation - but the postet solutions where to get a killscript for tautili - but this doesn't work because there are no paused streams or transcoded streams in plex anywhere left - it's only here outside.
If I can help with investigation - i would do it!
best regards

I can confirm the libvirt-crash also in "Non-GUI-Mode" after the GPU was used for one time by a docker. If i start a VM with GPU-Passthrough after the GPU has been used by Plex-Docker - the VM won't start, VM Site is unresponsible and the server has to be hard-rebooted. If i start the VM after a clean reboot - and the GPU wasn't used by a docker - the VM is starting...
...not complaining - just for info!
