SmokeyColes Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Hello I’m planning on having 2 VMs running on UNRAID and a PLEX server. I plan to have 2 GPUs. These are: 750ti and a rtx1660 So the RTX1660 is needed for HVEC265 transcoding for PLEX. The 750ti will be running my Ubuntu HomeSeer (a web-based server) which has a front end called HSTouch. It doesn’t require a lot of GPU processing. But I do need a HDMI output. so that’s PLEX and 1 of my VMs. Ok so the question is - I want a second VM of Ubuntu for Kodi. The kodi will be outputting at UHD 4K 60hz. My question is - do you know if I can use the RTX1660 HDMI out if I’ve set my PLEX docker for Hardware Transcoding. thanks for any advice chris Edited April 26, 2021 by SmokeyColes Quote Link to comment

At the moment, if a VM has access to the hardware of a GPU, it can't also be used by the host. Multiple containers can use the GPU hardware if the drivers are loaded in the host, but then VM's can't use it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Forget using the container, and instead install Plex within the Ubuntu Kodi VM. 1 Quote Link to comment
