I am having an issue with Jellyfin transcoding ffmpegs. I read through a few of the previous posts on this issue and the solutions there don't seem to be what I am looking for. 

Please post your Diagnostics.

 

Have you read the second post on how to pass through the GPU to a container?

What container (repository) are you using?

 

Are you on a really old version from Unraid or why are you on Nvidia Driver version: 545.29.06?

 

Please upgrade to a newer version from Unraid to get newer drivers since this seems to be your issue:

[h264_nvenc @ 0x5618f57a3040] Driver does not support the required nvenc API version. Required: 12.2 Found: 12.1

I didn't realize I was so far behind on my Unraid version. I updated that and it looks like everything is working now. Thank you for your quick reply and help!

Hello.

I can't seem to know why the Nvidia Driver download failed. I'm on 7.0.0-beta.3 and tried to upgrade to 7.0.0-rc.1

Diagnostics pasted.

It seems that your plugin is broken, please look at the second recommended post on top of this thread to resolve the issue, this is a indication that your plugin is broken:

 

However in your case I would recommend a little different route:

1. Remove the plugin
2. Reboot to upgrade
3. Install the plugin
4. Reboot again

I'm on Unraid version 6.9.2 and the latest available driver version is v515.43.04. I'm using my RTX2060 with my Frigate docker container, but it needs at least v530 in order to use TensorRT for object detection.

then you should consider to update unraid ...

as you are far behind ... there wont be any driver updates on "old" builds, way too much effort to compile all driver packages vs. all kernel versions and so on ...

Hello, I'm facing the issue with "NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running."

I have run the server on Unraid 6.12.13 for a long time and I have a Quadro P400 on my Dell R720 server. I keep to use the display card for jellyfin transcode and it works well, until I decide to upgrade the server versionto 6.12.14. I also upgrade the plugin version from 2024.12.08 to 2024.07.10. I can't remember which Nvidia driver I use before but I tried to download the newest driver.

After restart, the plugin shows the error as above. I'm not quite familiar with the nvidia driver. How could I investigate the error?

The diagnostics file is attached.

the card is not listed in your pci devices ... so driver plugin cant see a card and then ...

 

may take a closer look at

 

1/ seating

2/ power supply

3/ last but not least ... still working ?

 

and you didnt change anything on hardware ... ?

Nothing change on hardware. Thank you for your help. I will have a try on unplug and plug it again.

Quadro P400

Sadly enough I saw a few cards dying from that type alongside with some P2000 cards.

 

However as @alturismo already pointed out the card is not visible in your System.

Concerning the post from ocean_breeze Posted April 24, 2023.
I do have the same problem, booting Unraid on GUI mode gives after loading and being ready to load the GUI a blank screen.
I'm trying desperately to find a solution to this issue.
I know that it is caused by the Nvidia Driver, since once I uninstall it, the loading of the GUI works as it should.
As soon as I reinstall the driver, I get a blank screen when booting in GUI mode.
In text mode, no problem at all.

Without Diagnostics I really can‘t help.

Sorry about that.
Here it is.
I'm a bit green on the unraid / unix side.

Are you really sure that your Nvidia GPU is the primary output and not the AMD one?

 

However if that is not the case please issue this command once from a Unraid terminal:

sed -i "/disable_xconfig=/c\disable_xconfig=true" /boot/config/plugins/nvidia-driver/settings.cfg

and reboot your server.

Thank you for your help.
It worked, the GUI is now showing after the completition of the loading process.

Fantastic.
Out of curiosity.
What that command dit?

Just now, LordVader said:

The command sets a flag so that the plugin doesn't run nvidia-xconf on boot.

This will disable accelerated GUI output but will allow you to use multiple cards in one system.

 

Running Unraid in GUI mode is nowadays a edge case anyways and running it with multiple GPUs from different brands causes this issue.

is the revert command sed -i "/disable_xconfig=/c\disable_xconfig=false" /boot/config/plugins/nvidia-driver/settings.cfg

Yes, but you could also edit the file directly if you really want to…

Interesting, I unplug it and try with hair dryer, then I kick it twice. After plug and reboot it works, laugh.

Is there a bios setting to display the boot/terminal on a monitor? When I boot without the 3050 connected, I can see the boot screen, but when it boots and the 3050 is running, all my HDMI ports stop working, and I can't view the boot screen from either the native HDMI ports or the ones on the GPU.

Is the 3050 primary GPU Nd then gets bound to vfio? 

 

 

IO Ports
& Initial Display Output
Specifies the first initiation of the monitor display from the installed PCI Express graphics card or the onboard 
graphics.
IGD Video (Note) Sets the onboard graphics as the first display.
PCIe 1 Slot Sets the graphics card on the PCIEX16 slot as the first display.
& Integrated Graphics (Note)
Enables or disables the onboard graphics function.
Auto The BIOS will automatically enable or disable the onboard graphics 
depending on the graphics card being installed.
Forces Enables the onboard graphics.
Disabled Disables the onboard graphics.

3050 Is the only GPU, I don't know what bound to vfio means.

CPU has integrated graphics.

 

Vfio is configured by the system devices if you are passing through to a VM(may not be relevant in your case)

 

May output if via the hdmi on the motherboard.

Not passing GPU through to VM

When GPU is connected all the HDMIs on the Motherboard and the GPU stop transmitting. Is it a bios setting to make the motherboard GPU still display boot screen?
