February 28, 20206 yr There should be a command somewhere in this thread you could issue to check if the card is working. It was posted by chbmb a few pages back I think. You did download the nvidia build using the plugin? Or did you just install the plugin? The nvidia-smi one? That says no devices found, same message as web GUI. Yes, installed following instructions in the OP (install plugin, use plugin to install Nvidia unraid OS).Sent from my HD1905 using Tapatalk

Anyone know the best course of action? Post a screenshot of the nvidia plugin page

February 28, 20206 yr Here you are EDIT: better quality OK, so this is either...1. Issue of DP not being connected2. A race condition where the plugin parses for cards at boot before the drivers have loaded.3. Hardware failure/incompatibility.I'm on mobile atm but I've posted (fairly recently) about number 2, and there's an nvidia command you can run to "re-parse" the cards.

February 29, 20206 yr Updated my BIOS (On PRIME X399-A went from 0808 -> 1203) and the Quadro now displays. It's very possible the update simply reset settings that needed to be changed too. I kept the 'fake' DP connected just in case. Thanks for all the help! Edited February 29, 20206 yr by d2dyno
February 29, 20206 yr Wow, we should really have a disclaimer so people remember to update BIOS'es. If not latest, maybe one version behind. Some people still think it's unnecessary! FYI - I don't need the fake DP on my setup - and it can mean a session is connected when you don't want it to be either... So maybe true for you too. Edited February 29, 20206 yr by Marshalleq
February 29, 20206 yr Hello Gents, I have been looking around and cant seem to find an answer/ solution? if at all its a problem... I have the Nvidia app installed on the Unraid 6.8.2. i have a GTX970 doing the transcoding for plex and thats all... no VM's nothing else... In Idle (meaning no transcoding.) this is what i get: +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 440.44 Driver Version: 440.44 CUDA Version: 10.2 | |-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | GPU Name Persistence-M| Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr.

February 29, 20206 yr 50C isn't really hot for a GPU also a lot of GPU fans won't spin up till it see 60C.

Any one know why this is happening? [...] Fan speed is still 0??? strange. there is a bug in the Plex Transcoder where the GPU power state stays on P0 (high power). https://forums.plex.tv/t/stuck-in-p-state-p0-after-transcode-finished-on-nvidia/387685/79 for now the command "fuser -kv /dev/nvidia*" works but only use it when its 'idling'. many GPU brands turn the fans off below 60c, so nothing to worry about. Keep in mind that the 970 is an older gpu, which use more power then the newer types (if have a gtx1050ti without extra power connectors, its only use the PCIe power (max 75watts) also the 970 does not support x265, not every media file will be transcoded by the gpu... https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-gpu-support-matrix https://www.elpamsoft.com/?p=Plex-Hardware-Transcoding
February 29, 20206 yr ok thanks for the help... i just though 50C+ when the GPU is idle is far to high... i mean its doing nothing... But regarding the comment on the power connectors... i would say i am an advanced user but still new to the unraid world... did i misunderstand.... should i not connect the power connectors on the GPU... is the PCI power enough? (sorry i know its a possible stupid question) and with regards to the x265... 99% of all my content is 264 which means the 970 is fine.
February 29, 20206 yr if you removed the external power connectors i'm pretty sure that the 970 won't work anymore... (its designed to have bold connected) if you want to cut down the power, you have to replace it with another 'powerfriendly' gpu... the 1050ti here is running continue at 50c at idle, but there is a SAS card under it and those are running hot! even the gt710 for the GUI boot is 45c+ while doing nothing, i don't worry that it is running 50c continue
March 1, 20206 yr Hopefully an easy question but wanted to ensure I was doing things correctly, but can I utilize a single Nvidia card (p400) for my containers like Tdarr to utilize as well as have an edited syslinux.cfg file that passes the video card through for VM use? I assume it's 'no' but I wanted to make sure.

I assume it's 'no' but I wanted to make sure. You can't do containers and vm at the same time. But you can have multiple containers accessing it at the same time. That's because vm passthrough is exclusive, but container access is not. You can split their time, though, by alternating.
March 3, 20206 yr how long does the download and install take? as i have a gigabit connection but its been hours and i feel like the installer has crashed.
March 3, 20206 yr Seems to be a common problem for many these days. I believe there are manual download instructions earlier in the thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have utilized a K2000 in Plex for transcoding (not a heavyweight, I know) and I'm thinking of repurposing it to other containers. Has anyone tried using an nVidia card in the Shinobi CCTV container? Don't know where to start, but it seems that Shinobi can use the GPU for encoding the recodings and stuff https://shinobi.video/docs/gpu Any help will be appreciated 🙂 Hi, I have purchased an old Z420 workstation with an Xeon E5-1650 and a quadro K2000 gpu, how does the K2000 preform as a transcoder and how did you get it to work within Plex (i have plex pass, just need to figure out how to enable within unraid) thanks,

March 4, 20206 yr Awesome addon, works great. but now when I run it , it gives me these alarms, i tried Reinstalling it to no avail. any idea's? it worked great initially.

March 5, 20206 yr @Bitz69 @j0nnymoe yeah im also getting this error from past 4-5 days but i read an older post when someone reported this same error @CHBMB replied back that it to do something with digital ocean servers or spaces. so i was waiting it out.
March 5, 20206 yr We've never managed to reproduce it for any of the team members, only time we've managed to nail down a reason is when someone has changed their MTU or network settings somewhere.

Do you have 10gbit adapters installed? Do you run pihole? Like @CHBMB mentioned, we are unable to replicate issues with the plugin like this and we all have different network configurations but from previous discussions in this thread it always seems to relate to: MTU or pihole. There is a script a few pages back that will let you download this manually which you can run via ssh.
March 6, 20206 yr @Bitz69 @j0nnymoe @CHBMB now i don't know how or why or whats diffrent now but now it working. i haven't done any changes to network or anything and yeah i dont have 10gbit adapters and i dont run pihole. maybe reseting my fiber modem and wifi router, is finally showing its effects.
