I got a new Intel NUC with Proxmox installed and wanted to give PMS in an LXC container a go.
Followed the post on this topic: PMS installation guide when using a Proxmox 5.1 LXC container
and Plex HW acceleration in LXC container - anyone with success?

Unfortunately, although the card is showing up in my host, it does not want to do HW transcoding.

I noticed in the beginning the log said the following:

I fixed this issue with modifying the permissions so that plex could access it, however, now I’m getting the following errors:

That led me to this post, without an answer: PMS Linux 1.19.2.2673 - Broken Hardware Transcoding with Intel iGPU - #4 by concastelo
