Hi! I’m currently on TrueNAS Scale RC and I’ve setup the LSIO Plex docker image. I have a 1070 in my server and am trying to use it for HW transcoding. I’ve been trying for 3-4 hours trying to get this to just work at all. Here’s my dilemma:
GPU Shows up in the container when running nvidia-smi
HW Transcoding is on in Plex
Plex logs are saying TPU: hardware transcoding: enabled, but no hardware decode accelerator found
I’ve also tried Jellyfin, which is still struggling to transcode.
I’m on Nvidia drivers 460.91.03. I have runtime: nvidia in my docker-compose and it does show in docker inspect. I have NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all and NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all.
