Guide: NVDEC Hardware Acceleration Patch for Plex Media Server on Linux

[ComasSky1]

Hi everyone,

Has anyone ever been confronted with this bug ?

BUG : Stopping a stream does not kill all processes

Remove the patch (recreate from scratch with docker), bug is still here [PLEX-WITHOYUT-PATCH] [FUSE-WITHOUT] And after kill the stream [WITHOUT-AFTER] [SMI-WITHOUT] Note the 19mo (but only 6 for Xorg, 13 mo for “hidden” process “Plex media serv”) It seems that Plex attributes a process (parent of transcoding in fact) that is not transcoding to the GPU https://forums.plex.tv/t/stuck-in-p-state-p0-after-transcode-finished-on-nvidia/387685/4

Stop / cancel a stream doesnt stop the parent process, so the gpu is busy with Plex Media server parent PID !!
