Raki72 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) I just realized that in my Plex docker container (plexinc/pms-docker) the transcoding is not using my Nvidia graphics card anymore. I didn't change anything in the configuration or so. The only change was to upgrade from the latest RC to the final 6.10 Unraid version. But I am not sure, if the problem already occured with one of the RCs. Anyway, the problem is that the Plex transcoder is not using the dedicated graphics card anymore, but falls back to CPU coding. I can't find any error message, so I tried to identify the problem with the following steps: - changed the Nvidia driver from v510.73.05 to v515.43.04, v495.46 with reboot and back - no impact - installed binhex/arch-plexpass and repeated the Nvidia driver changes there - no impact Any idea how I could solve this problem? Or anyone having the same problem? Thanks for any feedback. 🙂 unraid-diagnostics-20220527-1508.zip Edited May 27, 2022 by Raki72 Quote Link to comment

Please let me know, if you find something. i ended up reverting back to 6.9 of unraid - i spent a few hours with little success so I just gave up for now. Quote Link to comment
Raki72 Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 HW encoding works again. All I did was to switch off the server and switch on. No clue, why this changed anything, but now its working again. ⁉️ Quote Link to comment
radfx Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Glad its working for you, i might leave it a little and see, everything running smoothly at the moment and didnt need an immediate reason to update, but will retry eventually Quote Link to comment
Jacon Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Did anyone here ultimately solve this problem? I have the exact same issues on my GTX 1070 and I'm now on 6.11.5. Plex reverts to software instead of HW transcoding. Quote Link to comment
S1nglebarrel Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I believe I am having the same issue. I notice now that the GPU stat doesn't show Plex utilizing the encoding/decoding process. Nothing else changed with the system outside of the latest OS updates. Is there a way to validate if HW decoding is being still be used? Quote Link to comment
0veek Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 having the same issue , maybe because of nvidia driver update ? i tried uninstalling driver & plex both , restarted multiple times with no success , any idea how to go back to an older driver ? Quote Link to comment
