Nvidia Based Plex Hardware Transcoding

[HarryMuscle]

Could anyone confirm from experience if it's possible in the latest release candidate to do Plex hardware transcoding on a Nvidia graphics card (T400 in my case) when running Plex in a Docker container? Doing research to see if TrueNAS Scale will be a good fit for my needs.

Thanks,
Harry

Hi Harry,

I'm in the exact same seat as you and thus I revived this old forgotten thread.

It does work! It doesn't work great though. For me, I'll get through about 10 session and it will start failing to transcode. The bummer about this is that Plex doesn't handle the failure very well, and optimization queues will get stuck doing nothing forever. :/
