The guide worked great and deployed successfully. However, I am seeing an issue where power consumption reported by nvidia-smi stays elevated after the transcode streams have ended. Restarting the plex media server service allows the card to return back to normal idle.
Interesting. I guess this just shows how every setup requires slightly different settings/tuning to properly work. I wonât be able to take out the Matrox card as itâs directly soldered on the motherboard. Thanks for checking your config though!
Iâm trying to set it up here on my NUC i5, I canât get it up and running (tried to first guide), it just fails starting the container. Iâve then looked at @constiens guide, but thatâs primarily for nvidia cards.
Anybody that has some ideas on a way that works for intel gfx cards?
I got it started, not sure what I did different, could be that the ubuntu 19.10 isnât goot, but with 18.04 it seems to at least load, now I need to test to see if HW accelleration is working
I have been working on this and did the walkthru for the nvidia install. It seemed to be working but i never saw any activity on nvidia-smi. So I found out that my intel integrated gpu is doing the work. In order for Plex to see it transcoding i ended up bringing over /dev/dri/card0, /dev/dri/card1, /dev/dri/renderd128 and finally /dev/dri/renderd129. So it turns out card0 is the intel card and card1 is nvidia. I tried to map card1 to card0 and renderd129 to renderd128 in the LXC container but Plex still didnât work with the nvidia. Is there a way to test if Nvidia is actually working? For now I have Intel gpu doing transcoding but would like to get my nvidia p400 doing the work. I do have all the /dev/ns* stuff listed on both proxmox and lxc container.
These steps fixed the problem for me. 1) On the server PC, open Server â Network settings and disable âSecure Connectionsâ. Required & Preferred do not work for me. 2) Uncheck âEnable server support for IPv6â, "Enable HTTP Pipelining ", "Webhooks ". 3)Turn off TV 4)Restart Plex server (I closed program on my PC, then re-opened it) 5)Turn on TV and reopen Plex app. 6) It Finally works!
Hereâs my setup and I didnât buy Plex Pass:
-PMS Version 1.5.5.3634
-Model UN60KU6270 - Samsung 60" (2016)
-Plex app for Samsung 3.0.11 (3.1.0) downloaded thru TV from Samsung app store
just want to say THANK YOU for sharing your setup.
Its working great here with a cheap low profile GT1030. Even though it says this card has no NVENC support it startet HW Transcoding of my 10bit HDR HEVC content with one of the latest Plex Version. Proxmox with PMS in LXC is just awesome!

edit: Just realized that the linked nvidia Matrix from keylease shows that my GT1030 is able to decode x265 10bit HDR. However this has never happen before when I ran PMS on a Windows Server Setup.
letâs start off what piece of hardware you trying to use to do HW transcoding
for what i see it looks like writing permissions or permission in general
if your running it in proxmox make sure both host and client machine are listing the same dir looks to me that your not loading the environment variables correctly.
