Hello, I’m having an issue today with HW transcoding. It had been working previously, then after an update and reboot it was unable to restart the container as it couldn’t find the driver. I wiped and reinstalled the the nvidia drivers, toolkit, etc… through this post. Once everything was back up and running, i’m having what looks like a permissions issue where Plex can’t start the hardware up correctly when I set it to transcode.

output of nvidia-smi showing driver and cuda version:

Fixed the issue by trying out a few things in the nvidia-docker-runtime config.xml! we’re back in business. :slight_smile:
