I’m getting even more confused now.
Nvidia Grid K1 and K2 from 2013 ?
Yes, they are just a video card called “grid”, which has nothing to do with the grid driver, please don’t be confused by it.
You can find more information to understand here.
I just read through a lot of that documentation. Thank you. It helped a great deal.
I have a question: Are you trying to put PMS into a VM on one of the commercial hypervisor environments (e.g. Citrix or Vsphere) and shared across VMs ?
No, I’m using proxmox ve as the host and Ubuntu as the virtual machine system.
But you’re still adding the vGPU manager ?
Are you sharing the GPU across multiple VMs ?
Yes I use vgpu manager in pve and it seems to work fine.
Yes, there is another vgpu shared to the windows virtual machine
When PMS works in docker, sometimes it can be decoded by normal hardware, but most of the time it can’t.
I am 99% confident that vGPU manager is your problem.
Plex doesn’t like sharing and never has.
I have proxmox on a test box here. The GPU must be passed through exclusively to the VM (Ubuntu). I don’t have any detection or transcoding issues.
Just to restate – Proxmox isn’t officially supported. I do what I can
I am still learning how to use it.
After customizing the heck out of the proxmox base (disable a lot of drivers)
I was able to assign the GPU to the VM and it works.
This is the config I have.
Why are you
Both GeForce 1660 and the RTX A6000 are natively supported by the Nvidia drivers.
PMS relies on the Nvidia drivers (hands off to) for the actual transcoding.
I am sensing you’ve made something complex which doesn’t need to be ??
I don’t have a way to passthrough the GPU because my windows VM needs to use the Nvidia GPU.
The spoofing process takes place in the host and has nothing to do with the virtual machine.
Nvidia officially does not allow consumer graphics cards to turn on VGPU functionality, and the community’s solution is to spoof drivers.
Strangely enough, it works in docker, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
This isn’t a docker problem or an nvidia problem, it’s just a plex problem
