Do you guys know if this works with the PNY Quadro 4000 (VCQ4000-PB) 2GB?

It wasn't recognizing the card on rc-4 so i figured i would wait for rc-5.   I installed rc-5 last night but still doesn't work.

Before i go crazy troubleshooting i just want to see if it even should be working with this card?

9 years old is a big NO.

 

if your card is NOT on this list, i't won't work.

Thanks so much for all that the LinuxServer.Io team does... just got this working on 6.7.0-rc5 with my new 1660 ti and also tested with the Decode patch/script... all appear to be working as expected!
 
Sent a couple chits for donation...will add some more when I get more in my PayPal account!

Is the 1660 ti have a better encoder / decoder than a 1060? I mean quality-wise. More codecs?

The Quadro 4000 does not, to my knowledge have nvenc or nvdec pipelines. Also, it's fermi based architecture so support was phased out with ~391.74. The driver installed with this plugin is 418.43, which is long after fermi was deprecated. I don't think this plugin should work with your card, to answer your question.

Works . I had to specify my GPU.

I wonder if i can ask the person making this to add the nvidia_smi to his docker, so we don't have to do this every update

 

Still working on Telegraf then I am gonna post the dashboard for people.

I got it working in Telegraf. I couldn't figure out my issue as I was passing through the nvidia runtime like I did with Plex. My issue was that I was running the alpine version of telegraf. Changed my docker to telegraf:latest and the nvidia-smi plugin worked! Not sure if I will have any other issues running the non alpine version but it seems fine so far.

 

Have to play with my data a bit more but here is what I quickly threw together.

Nice, I have a dashboard running too.

 

But a lot of metrics are missing.

 

I submitted a request to telegraf to expand the api calls, so we can get more info.

It's not ALL the missing api calls but its a start.

Hi, I have version 6.6.6 with the nvidia plugins. I would like to upgrade to 6.6.7 since it is now available in the drop down list. How to I upgrade correctly without messing everything up?

Choose 6.6.7, click download, click OK when it's downloaded and then reboot your server.

Got this working in netdata!

So, don't worry about grabbing a special version, the version from Community Apps is fine.


Steps to reproduce:

Grab the docker from Community Apps.
During the initial container install switch to advanced view, and add --runtime=nvidia to the end of the list.
Add a new variable "NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES" with the value set to "all"
Click done, and let the docker install.
Open a console for the docker.
echo "nvidia_smi: yes" >> /etc/netdata/python.d.conf
Restart the docker.
Enjoy.

 

 

Where in Netdata are you finding this graph? I've got it passed through and can see nvidia-smi from the NetData console but cannot find this chart. I've run the command in the container etc. so I think I should be set but cannot find data in the interface.

There's a sidebar entry titled nvidia smi. Click on that. Note that the command is "nvidia-smi" but the configuration option is "nvidia_smi: yes" 

If you have entered everything correctly, and restarted the docker per the instructions it should show. 

 

Alternatively, you could add my script from a couple posts ago to userscripts and run it.

Use the script posted here and it will show up in Netdata. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/77813-plugin-linuxserverio-unraid-nvidia/?do=findComment&comment=728822

I posted this in the Good Deals forum but the P2000 is on sale @ Dell for $315.

v6.6.7 and v6.7.0rc5 uploaded.  If anyone pings me or @bass_rock and mentions the word Nvidia in the next week, we'll probably murder you and dispose of your body so well you'll never be discovered.

 

It's been a slog for both of us.  To say between us we've compiled this at least 50 times would be a conservative estimate, and the theories and conversations we've had have been numerous.

 

Bottom line, we're not really sure how we got it to work for so many successive versions before hitting this wall.

Hi guys,

 

So with the new release of 6.6.7 NVIDIA. Is applying the script still necessary? I am just asking due to still having issues after I upgraded to Unraid and NVIDIA 6.6.7 and a lot of my movies are not playing when it needs to be transcoded. It seems to be ranging from 4k HEVC (x265) movies to regular 1080p x264 movies. Even playing at original quality is not working on a mobile device I know could play HEVC just fine. It would just freeze the player. Any help/guidance would be appreciated. Thank you ahead!

If direct play doesn't work, your problem is not the nvidia plugin. 

I don't know which script you mention, so can't answer.

Oh I was talking about this script: https://gist.github.com/Xaero252/9f81593e4a5e6825c045686d685e2428

Thanks.

I am also getting an error on my phone's plex "Conversion failed. The transcoder exited due to an error"

That script (which looks familiar 😉) is a patch for Plex and is required until Plex formally release hardware decoding.  Unless I've missed a big change, it has nothing to do with the Nvidia plugin (as in, the Nvidia version of Unraid has nothing to do with the apps you may be using).

 

So, until Plex is upgraded, and you want hardware DEcoding, and you've got a Plex pass, you'll still need to run the script.

Wow, OK. Was a little confused on that. Thank you for the thorough explanation. So Plex hardware ENcoding (from unraid server) should still be working on the Nvidia plugin for 6.6.7 and unRAID 6.6.7?

ENcoding should work with Unraid 6.6.7 Nvidia out the box, yes - if you've passed the card details through to Plex correctly (first / second post of this thread) and you've enabled hardware transcoding in Plex.  The script just forces Plex to DEcode as well, which it doesn't officially do yet, and what does/doesn't play or why is way beyond my knowledge.

 

(at least that's my understanding)

Just a quick note on this (which always trips me up) - if you're not getting it to work, manually type the commands into the docker template rather than copy/paste.  That gets me every time!

 

And to clarify -  "switch to advanced view, and add --runtime=nvidia to the end of the list" means add it to the end of the "Extra Parameters" field.

 

Got mine working now, and just spent 10 minutes wondering why all graphs were flat.  Then realised that I was using Direct Play in Plex.  D'OH!

I was able to install the plugin and get unraid Nvidia installed, after I reboot my system it hangs after this message:

 

Freeing SMP alternatives memory: 32K

 

I’ve disabled everything I can think of. I’m down to one processing core, one stick of ram, all PCH devices are disabled, hyperthreading disabled. Nothing gets me past that point. My system works fine with the standard version of unRAID. What am I doing wrong?

 

Core system specs:

CPU: 9980XE

MB: Rampage VI Extreme Omega

Cache: Samsung 970 Pro 1TB

Memory: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 4x16GB DDR4-3200MHz 14-14-14-34

 

Anyone tested/gotten this plugin working with a Quadro RTX 4000?  Thinking about picking one up.

Had it working, had to re-install plex, no I can't get the GPU to transcode.

 

Lost my plex library, deleted docker, CA template and started fresh.  Re-followed the install instructions for plex, variables etc.  enabled hardware within plex menu etc... rebooted.  Still can't get it to work.  Testing on mobile phone, HEVC to x264 over Internet.  Even playing .avi files I'm not seeing it convert like it did previously.

 

Rebooted the server, checked nvidia plugin's there etc.... what else can I do to try and figure out why?  Unraid nvidia plugin is on the rc5.

@mkyb14 Docker run command please for Plex

not super familiar with docker commands... what specifically am I doing... within the command line of unraid or console of plex, running "docker run image ID?"
