Yes, inside the script "Plex Transcoder", change it to :

 

#!/bin/sh 

exec /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Transcoder2 -hwaccel nvdec "$@"

 

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

Someone on the plex forum said to add a "exec" command in front of the /usr/lib..., this way it will correctly call the Transcoder2 and kill it after.

I didnt try yet, might be a solution.

 

How or where would I do that? In the script? I could test it right now...

Hi, i am installed the Patches Nvidia Unraid Build. All is fine in watch nvidia-smi it shows a process. But my CPU usage is very high. I am using a GTX 1050ti. Someone knows my problem? I am need to use the Patch?

 

Thanks for the help.

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

2.  If you attempt to start a VM passing through a GPU that is actively transcoding, you will hard lock your server and it will need an unclean shutdown.

3.  If you use Unraid in GUI mode and have only a single GPU in your server and you use that GPU in a virtual machine, trying to start that VM will crash libvirt.
 
4.  You can passthrough a GPU that is being passed through to a docker container as long as when you start that VM there is no active transcode processes happening, the docker container will fallback to software transcoding.  Check the webui of the docker container to check if transcoding is occurring before starting the VM, or if your GPU supports it, you can use

 

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!
