I am using a GTX 1050ti. Someone knows my problem? I am need to use the Patch? Thanks for the help. Did you create the DECoding patch too? if you just enable hw transcode, the CPU is still decoding. With the "workaround patch", it also hw decode instead of CPU decode. There is some drawback to the workaround, but i find it very good for now.

Looks like i'll have to update my script to add the "exec" too. Thanks for testing it.

I’m picking up a 1660 ti today to see if I can fix my poor decode quality and with this, now I’m super excited.

Be aware that the 1660Ti requires driver 419.17+, and the Unraid Plugin is at 410.78, and the Slackware source is at 418.x ,so you'll have to wait for : 1. Slackware to update to 419.17+ 2. LS.io to update the Unraid NVIDIA to have that version.

Just getting prepped at this point.

Thanks for looking into this. On my 1050ti I've been getting high CPU usage on occasion too.

February 25, 20197 yr Hey all, got my P2000 in over the weekend and I just wanted to say thanks for this awesome plugin! Working VERY well and I'm impressed with how much of a difference it's made not killing my CPUs with transcodes. Edited February 25, 20197 yr by MisterLas
February 25, 20197 yr @Pducharme What would the whole script look like? I don't really know where to add that extra line to fix the parsing of decoding. I appreciate the help! #!/bin/sh con="plex" echo "" echo "<font color='red'><b>Applying hardware decode patch...</b></font>" echo "<hr>" docker exec -i $con mv "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Transcoder" "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Transcoder2"docker exec -i $con /bin/sh -c 'printf"#!/bin/sh\n/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Transcoder2 -hwaccel nvdec "\""\$@"\""" > "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Transcoder";' docker exec -i $con chmod +x "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Transcoder" docker exec -i $con chmod +x "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Transcoder2 -hwaccel nvdec "$@"" docker restart $con echo "" echo "<font color='red'><b>Done!</b></font>"

I've been doing a lot of testing with the 1050ti and rtx 2080's in the past few days. In regards to decoding on linux, the video quality on 4k content is very poor with pascal. The new turing architecture uses much better decoder on the chip and for another 80 bucks, its worth it for me to upgrade to an 1660.

Go back to the previous page where you got this script from and recreate it using that - it's been updated with the exec command in place. Also note in the one you've just quoted there is a line break missing, so two commands are on a single line (in other words, replace it with the new version).

I'm sure there's a more efficient way of scripting it, since I'm just literally converting each step of the manual process into a docker command.

February 25, 20197 yr Hello! Small question. I have an old AMD Phenom X6 1045T with 24G of ram. I currently run Plex on it. Do you think my setup can handle some transcode using a Quadro P2000? Is it a good "route" to go or I'm better to change my hardware (CPU, Ram) with newer stuff... Like Intel i5. I'm OK for a 500$ upgrade... Tks for your help! Regards,

February 25, 20197 yr Just ordered a used Quadro P1000 card on ebay! I have a question though. I see that the Quadro P1000 has a transcode limit of 2. If there is a 3rd video that gets requested to be transcoded, does it drop down to the CPU to handle or will it get rejected? I'd love unlimited transcoding but it looks like the software limits it on this card.

Did someone try this card with an older CPU like mine? Tks, I'm running my new P2000 (got it this weekend) in conjunction with dual L5640s. They're not the slowest, but rather old, and I saw major improvements since bringing the quadro in the mix.
