I did try moving to its own folder so /mnt/user/appdata/plex/my-custom-files/custom-install.sh too but that didnt make any difference

 

I made a mistake, I created a folder called "custom" inside my plex appdata folder, then for the script pathing just map to the "custom" folder and leave out the script. That's my bad. Also looks like I used an underscore instead of a dash in the script name.

 

 

Edit: See updated instructions:

So that still didnt work but noticed the following in plex log.

 

[custom-init] Files found, executing
[custom-init] custom_install.sh: executing...
/custom-cont-init.d/custom_install.sh: line 10: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
/custom-cont-init.d/custom_install.sh: line 10: `fi'
[custom-init] custom_install.sh: exited 2

That's strange, no idea why it works for me? Maybe try copying it from this URL where I got it from originally?

Here's the Plex forum post with the links to the .deb files too:

Yeh I did that and saved using notepad just incase notepad++ was doing something weird. No big deal not in a rush.

When I run it again same as before.

@bally12345 what happens if you console into the plex container? Can you see the "custom-cont-init.d" folder and script inside?

 

what happens if you try and execute it while you're inside the container?

There is no need to utilise the NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES parameter any more.  This is handled by our container.

 

PSA: For the new HEVC Encoding Forum Preview, it appears you need to add back in

NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all

for things to work properly. The new preview looks like it needs to find a supported card before it shows you the new options and Plex does not log that it is recognized without using all (dockerfile include "compute,video,utility" as the default for this variable)

 

I also wonder if this has ever always been the case, as my GPU name was not showing up in the drop down list for GPU selection until I added this in, despite hardware transcoding working perfectly!
