Well done! Unfortunately, the latest PMS release doesn’t resolve my issue and am still in the same predicament on Slackware -current. (Living with unresolved issues is a way of life on unsupported distros.)
As of now, I don’t see any security notes in the changelogs from 1.22.x to 1.23.x, so I’m content to see if a fix comes about. Is this correct?
Check your Nvidia drivers. They seem to be at the root of this.
In this case I’m using the latest version; having tried both the latest “production” 480.x and “features” 485.x. Perhaps the next update will be the ringer.
Users are saying 465. You’re stating 485 ? Are you using Alpha/Beta drivers?
My recommendation is to first get to a stable working configuration.
That’s on me, trying to do it from memory. I should’ve said 460.80 and 465.31, as seen here:

As stated earlier in the thread, hardware transcoding works just as expected with both of these newest drivers, as long as I use PMS version 1.22.3.4523-d0ce30438. So far, each release of 1.23.x has not worked with hardware transcoding. I know this both from the dashboard and via the nvidia-smi tools, (plus, good old physical check – no fans).
Same experience here. Plex 1.23.x breaks my hardware transcoding as well.
TO ALL:
Found a bug in current PMS – sidecar subs. Being fixed as I write this.
Happy to report that server v. 1.23.4.4712 has solved my hardware transcoding issues with NVIDIA GTX 1080 and driver 465.31. Many thanks to the devs!
Perfect solution.
I am still having an issue. Plex doesn’t crash like before, but my CPU goes to 100% after a short time and doesn’t stop until I restart plex server.
PLEX - Version 1.23.4.4805
Linux Mint 19.2
NVIDIA 1060, driver 418.87.00
Installed 460.84 and that fixed it. Thanks.
This may or may not be relevant or related, but I’m running Plex server Version 1.24.1.4931 on Ubuntu 20.04 with Nvidia 460.91.03 drivers, and hardware transcoding with my GTX 1080 started failing a week or so ago.
I also have Docker installed, and had just set up Tdarr in Docker, and installed nvidia-container-toolkit 1.5.1-1, libnvidia-container-tools 1.4.0-1, libnvidia-container1:amd64 1.4.0-1, and nvidia-container-runtime 3.5.0-1.
On a hunch I removed those packages and automagicly hardware transcoding worked again.
This may be a new Plex issue, existing, or Nvidia’s screw up. I don’t know, but this may spring up for other folks. Happy to supply additional info if needed.
Sounds like Nvidia’s apps aren’t letting go of the GPU?
