Hardware transcoding issue

Server Version#: 1.30.1.6562
Player Version#: Web client and last IOS client
Server info: VM installed with Almalinux 8.7, graphic card is a NVIDIA P2000 card that is passthrough from ESX host.

Hi,

Don’t know if it has anything to do with latest update or not but those last weeks, I have the feeling my hardware transcoding is making more and more problems. Was working smoothly a month before.

The errors I have, have been seen for a while now but since yesterday, some videos I could flawlessly read before can not being played, toping my server’s CPU.

From the console, I can also notice that the “hw” tag is not present anymore, meaning the server tries to transcode with the CPU, despite seing a job in the nvidia-smi dashboard.

Any clue where I could start troubleshooting? Thanks in advance :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey,
I have pretty much the same issue on a ubuntu 20.04.5 server with a Nvidia T600 and plex version 1.30.1.6562.

My logs show these errors in repeat:

Somebody with an idea?

PMS is not yet CUDA 12.0 compatible

For now, 515.86.01 is more than adequate for even AV1 decoding

Also be advised, some 1080p content will not transcode with 1.30.1.
This has been identified and is being resolved now.

Recommend using 1.29.2.6364 until fully resolved.

Monitor the release announcements

Thanks a lot. Could you advice where to find a link to the version 1.29.2.6364?

Edit: Nevermind… got it

I had the same errors as the above screen shot.
PMS: 1.30.2.6563-1
NVIDIA: 525.85.05

I am in Manjaro and used “downgrade” to go back to 1.30.0.6486. The problem appears to have resolved for now. Commenting here to monitor ticket.

Folks.

I have a candidate fix for PMS:

This should address:

  1. Nvidia drivers 525 and above (SDK 12.0)
  2. 1080p input would sometimes fail to use HW transcoding
  1. I tested the 1080p issue I found and it’s resolved.
  2. Can anyone test the SDK 12.0 (525 nvidia drivers) ?

Any prompt feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi there,

I’d like to test any time soon, but I’ll need a little help of how to do it and things to pay attention.
I don’t know (yet) how to use those DEB files (I guess I have to compile something) on a CentOS-Like server.

I can test it any time, it’s a VM so I’ll do snapshots prior.

Thanks in advance

@Franck_Ehret

Sorry about that.

CentOS Virtual Machine
Driver Version: 525.60.13
CUDA Version: 12.0
Tesla T4

Appears to be working for me but will continue to test.

Thank you!

Hello,

Did the test this morning but unfortunately, it didn’t change the result.
I’ve tried the same file(s) on Plex web and an iPad, I had the same errors as long as it needs to do transcoding:

Details of the file played:

I’ll rollback to the production version but if I need to test it again, no problem, let me know :wink:

I installed the 1.31.1.6617 .deb and after some quick tests it looks like this build fixed the transcoding errors I was having on the public PMS build with H264 and HEVC files (e.g. “No decoder surfaces left” among others).

Ubuntu 20.04
GPU: GTX 1660
Driver Version: 525.78.01

Was also having issues with nvidia+h.265 with the latest public release. This fixed it for me. I am only using the 515.86.01 drivers though, and was still seeing this issue, and this test release fixed it.

Guessing this was more to do with the 1080p input issue, now that I read more carefully. Either way, thanks for the quick fix!

@Franck_Ehret

It’s nearly impossible to diagnose from a snippet.

The snippet you show me only tells me QSV was not found in the CPU you’re using.

Which CPU do you have?

I will need the DEBUG logs ZIP file to see whta’s really happening.

Hi,

The VM runs on a Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v3.
Let me know I can transmit you some logs in a secure way (should I obfuscate them?)

@Franck_Ehret

I have sent you a PM for the logs. Please check .

Your Xeon E5-2620 v3 won’t have QSV.
My E5-2690 v4 doesn’t have it either.

For PMS to probe, looking for VAAPI is normal. It’s an unfortunate artifact of needing to probe each time the transcoder starts

Applied your 1.31.1.6617
Arch Linux/NVIDIA 525.85.05 on 3070-ti

I’m still getting mixed results. As usual, web player works better than HTPC player, but that is just life.

The real problems start with live-tv. Direct Play/Direct Stream enabled and disabled both screwy. Play original, convert maximum, all mess up. And I am still getting the “Live-TV loop of death.”

On an up note, the loop doesn’t start until I’ve laid down and try to go to sleep. Getting a lot of exercise having to get up and go start playback over.

Hopefully I had enough failures in this log post beta installer for you to get some data.

@redairforce

Is this a LiveTV-DVR issue?

Asking because I look at tyour logs and you aren’t using HW transcoding.

The topic here is HW transcoding.

I really feel like I am using hardware transcoding.

I did find it.

“No Frame” errors are things I saw when I had a tuner.
IIRC, which i’m NOT certain of, they were signal related (there’s 3 elements to digital OTA TV. I was getting only 2 at strong enough quality (out here in the country where i live)

Beyond that, I don’t know how to help you.

You’re more than welcome to hang here with us
