Hello

I have bought the A380 Intel GPU. Its due to arrive this Wednesday from Spain.

Spec below:

I want to assign it two plex docker containers.

Could someone tell me the required plugin:

(Why I am confused as reading the 915 beta description sends you to a site which confirms if GVT-g (the left plugin) works)

I also have the ability to use an iGPU, so I have one plugin already installed.

Setup Containers:

Is it just a case of adding --device /dev/drv to the extra parameters of both containers?

Then in both PLEX severs selecting the A380 under the hardware transcoding device dropdown (located in settings > transcoder)?

Forgive my limit understanding, is it capable to run transcoding at the same time without I/O conflicts?

Thank you

Chris

In answer to the first bit of the question. I have misunderstood. SR-IOV refers to i915 plugin. If it says GVT-g and not SR-IOV then its the other plugin.
Seems simple when someone else pointed it out

This does generate a new question; if A380 is part of the A-Series (formerly known an alchemist) - it states it is not supported by either plugin.

So how have people got it working with UNRAID?

2nd part of the question, would still be appreciated - can it be shared with 2 docker containers and how?

No plugin needed. You pass the device /dev/dri (not drv).
You can click the option "Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device" at the bottom of the template for each container, select "Device" and enter /dev/dri as value.

Select device

Its someone else's screenshot:

And doing that for both should work from what I'm reading.

From Beta 7 - Arc became supported.

@Niklas; thank you will mark as solution

No problem.
Name can be what you want, just set the value to /dev/dri and yes, you can do it for multiple containers at the same time.
You can use extra parameters too but this just looks better and could be easier to troubleshoot when not hidden away behind the advanced view, IMHO.

Just wanted to feedback for any who may read this - the Arc A380 Sparkle Genie card arrived from Spain and was installed.

The above instructions followed and I have had multiple transcodes occur from the two different servers (two docker containers) at the same time - and its worked perfectly.

It detected it in PLEX with no issue, and was selected in the transcode settings (image below).

Its great and easy to setup.
