Dear,

 

I have setup my Unraid/Plex a few months ago, asuming all was running smoothly.

I never had issues trancoding videos and all playback was good.

After I now started to include some 80-90mbps 4k UHD videos things went south.

My CPU load is immense when streaming, so I figured something was not right.

 

When I open (watch every 0.5s) 'nvidia-smi' in my docker's console, I see it finds my p2000:

However, when I start transcoding something, nothing happens on the GPU, also, in Plex I do not see the 'hw' suffix, so I guess that's what makes my CPU suffer 🙂

 

If I remember correctly, I also altered some Plex config files, to actually let Plex use the GPU.

Maybe I made a mistake here, I dunno.. I'd like to check, but cannot find a good/right tutorial for this part.

 

Is there anyone who can advise which files to check for what content, or what else to check?

 

As my container does see the p2000 (see screenshot above) I guess the underlaying settings are correct.

To be sure, I made some more screenshots though:

Settings for container in Docker (GPU ID is corrrect)

I know the plugin has recently been revoked, but as I already have it installed I should be ok.. Right?

 

Thanks in advance for all your help!

 

Regards,

 

Martin
