Server Version#: 1.43.3.10828
Player Version#: 2026.13.0
I have been running Plex Media server for Linux in an lxc container on Proxmox successfully, with GPU acceleration from my AMD 5700G APU.
Last week, I added an nVidia GPU to the host system for use with local LLMs. Some device node names changed, and I had to make configuration changes to my container.
Since this change, I have been experiencing hardware transcoding errors in some cases. Basically, the hardware transcoder works when I use Plex web. It fails when I use Plex for Android.
- Plex for Android on Galaxy S24 Ultra, playing OTA MPEG-2
If I enable Directplay on the client, it works, but the subtitles don’t appear.
If I disable Directplay on the client, I get “Conversion failed . The transcoder exited due to an error”
If I disable hardware transcoding on the server, it works. - Plex for Fire Stick 4K Max . Same behavior as on Galaxy S24 Ultra
- Plex web : plays fine, with subtitles, and the Plex dashboard actually shows that hardware transcoding is in use and working. Radeontop confirms this.
