Server Version#: 1.30.0.6486 Player Version#: iOS 8.13 I am seeing an issue with using NVIDIA hardware transcoding and sync/download vidoes. When I restart plex the first video works and is transcoded correctly and download. the 2nd video fails to start. Every 2.0s: nvidia-smi -i 0 -q -d UTILIZA…

Looks like the slots aren’t counted correctly when sync/downloads are going on. I have only 2 downloads in progress and two plex transcoder processes however they are double counted.

I should add the sync with transcode doesn’t work even when hardware encode turned off until plex server is restarted. then again it works for the first video synced and then stops

Full debug logs please which capture this ? (Can’t see what’s happening without them) Also, which card please ? I’ve seen several report problems with the 525.60. drivers They are the new CUDA 12.0 protocol – which seems to have some issues. I currently use 510.85.02, which is more than enough…

DELETED ATTACHMENT WILL ADD TO PM Driver Version : 525.60.11 CUDA Version : 12.0 I will confirm this and make sure update the ramfs, but it looks like it took it and I see the compile and update to initramfs. However setting the limit to Un…

It almost feels that once the first encode / transcode is complete the counter isn’t reset, as result the 2nd one cannot start it still thinks there is one in progress and its running in Sloth mode.

I will downgrade to 515.85.02. I was running this version, that I then upgraded to 525, can go back no issues.

Sorry for the piecemeal asnwers! Card is GTX 1050 Ti. There are no issues with hardware based stream transcoding for viewing on web etc. They work great. its just during sync/download that setting it to 1/2 stream max (which is close to what my card do) is causing the sessions not to get reset.

Going back to 515 is a great step. 515 is still the 11.x protocol family which PMS has been proven reliable with. Nvidia drivers 525 are supposed to be 11.x compatible but this first release of it doesn’t seem to be all that compatible.

Cool. Running 515 now. But still without setting the [image] Things dont really work, only very first transcode that requires hw works, and then everything else is sloth mode.

Sloth mode = It has reached the high water mark (Output blocks) for that stream but the stream isn’t done yet. “Getting back to work” = It’s reached the low water mark and starts filling the output buffer again. What’s the OS underneath this container and did you upadate initramfs after downgr…
