Hardware transcoding device selection not retained after reboot

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

Server Version#: 1.40.4.8679
Player Version#:

Hello,
I am new here and searching for a solution to my Plex Media Server question. I am running PMS 1.40.4.8679 on a QNAP NAS with an nVidia 1050ti GPU for transcoding. I have it setup and running great, but when for any reason the NAS has to reboot Plex starts up with the feature “Hardware transcoding device” set to Auto. Auto is the only option. Shutting down Plex and restarting just that and not the NAS results in the selection being back to the nVidia card and working properly.

any recommendations?

thanks

The problem is known.
The Nvidia drivers were installed after PMS.
QNAP doesn’t honor startup priority.

I have a fix for the QNAP problem

Once run, you won’t need to worry unless you reinstall the Nvidia drivers.

Are you comfortable with running a command at the shell ?

I can manage, lay it on me.

It’s a one-liner :slight_smile:

  1. SSH into the box
  2. Make certain you’re admin (or do a sudo bash to get there)
  3. recommend you make a copy of the QPKG config file just in case
cp /etc/config/qpkg.conf /share/Public/qpkg.conf.bak
sed -i '/\[PlexMediaServer\]/,/FW_Ver_Min[^$]*$/{H;d};$g' /etc/config/qpkg.conf
  1. reboot the box

This worked perfectly!

ChuckPa I was reading your other thread: “plex-not-automatically-launching-on-after-rebooting-qnap”

…and thinking: If only I could someone like ChuckPa to look into my issue maybe we could get it solved.

Really appreciated it.
