Good morning people.

Here below is the procedure I’ve followed and The ma

in problem though that I am having is this:

I’ve taken my whole unraid server and migrated it into a new mb/cpu. Z590-v / i5 11th gen.
I then installed a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti into it.

My unraid is Version Unraid OS Plus 6.9.2 2021-04-07

At this point, I

  1. Checked plex app version: Plex-Media-Server

  2. Went into Plex docker and added extra parameters = --runtime=nvidia

  3. added variable Container Variable: NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES to my GPU-xxxxxx

  4. Set Nvidia driver capabilities to ALL.

  5. Installed ICH777 Nvidia-driver and used driver 495.44. The GPU is now showing up there in settings corrently.

  6. I disabled and enabled the docker.

  7. Rebooted server

  8. Inside of my admin Plex account, I’ve enabled hardware transcoding in the transcode settings area.

However, view a movie remotely, it’s still zapping all the CPU, and GPU stats are showing zero usage on the dashboard.

Any ideas on how to get the GPU to handle the transcoding?

I have attached the diags that I just ran if anyone knows how to read them.

I’ve read somewhere that sometimes the docker-images may need to be changed. I did some research and am at a loss on how to check if I have the right version/app. Maybe I’m reading an old set of instructions and am missing a toggle switch or something somewhere.

Unfortunately for me my main jobs the last 20 years have been 98% Windows based, and I am really not great with Linux, so I humbly ask for your help and appreciate your knowledge in regards to this.

I believe I’ve attached the diags file. If not, here it is on mega cloud share:
