Good day all

I am looking for help and advise with regards to getting Hardware Transcoding working with Plex on my Ubuntu 20.04 Server using my Quadro P400.  
I have found a number of web links and different ways of installing the drivers/software for the Quadro P400.  
Most are outdated guides that do not work, and or come up with errors.  
One guide did however sort of work but this ended up installing the Ubuntu GUI, and causing other problems.  
Can anyone here advise if there is a install guide to get the Quadro P400 working for my headless server?  
I am very much a linux novice, so I don’t normally dive in too deep.

Thanks for your time.
