Hardware Accelerated Transcoding with AMD CPU and nVidia GPU

Featured Replies

Hi

 

I'm trying to run hardware acceleration for plex transcoding.

I've edited my go file with: 

#enable module for iGPU and perms for the render device
modprobe i915
chown -R nobody:users /dev/dri
chmod -R 777 /dev/dri

Then in my Plex docker (Edit -> Advanced settings -> Extra parameters) added:

--device /dev/dri:/dev/dri

Restarted my server and this messages came up:

Quote

chown: cannot access 'dev/dri": no such file or directory

chmod: cannot access 'dev/dri": no such file or directory

 

System:

nVidia GTX 650Ti

 

I've added my diagnostics file, any help would be greatly appreciated

This currently only works for Intel iGPUs.

has there been an update since then? Isn't there any other way to enable it on amd?

No.

 

Most AMD CPUs DO NOT have integrated GPUs and the APU models that do are not supported by Plex for hardware transcoding.

 

The only way to have hardware accelerated transcoding in Linux with an AMD CPU is with a supported discrete Nvidia Graphics card and the unRAID Nvidia build of unRAID and its associated plugin.
