When installing Plex or any app that needs GPU passthrough, the installation fails when I select GPU Configuration Passthrough Available (non-NVIDIA) GPUs
Any suggestions to get this to work? I have some apps that need to use my GPU for transcoding
Do you get a specific error when it fails?
I’d suggest raising a Jira ticket (with as much detail as possible) considering Electric Eel is in BETA and you may be hitting a bug.
I can’t find any related issues:
Yea looks like I am getting a similar issue
/dev/dri": no such file or directory
I just got Plex up and running with the EE beta … and my ARC A380 6GB GPU seems to be transcoding just fine
Did you deploy with Passthrough enable?
I did
Interesting, I wonder why I am having problems and you are not.
Did you upgrade to the EE beta or do an fresh install?
I did the upgrade
Plex does list my A380 for hw transcoding (I didn’t list that before)
I did do a fresh plex install instead of trying to migrate my old Kubernetes based Plex install from TrueCharts … if that matters
My Arc A380 is also working in Plex.
I initially did an upgrade from Dragonfish and it worked. Then I did a clean install and it still works.

I did a clean install and it works now. Can’t get it to pass through to a VM though
Are you using a VM or a Docker Container through the Apps menu?
I saw something that said Kubernetes in Electric Eel in the logs, but I thought that was removed.
I just used/installed the Plex app in EE
Those two things would be mutually exclusive. You may have had the Isolated GPU Device feature in Settings>Advanced enabled in your previous install. This would make it work in your VM but would prevent the APP from using it even if the checkbox you posted a screenshot were checked.
I haven’t tested this but I’m pretty confident that theory holds water.

One isolated GPU device can be used by a single VM. Isolated GPU cannot be allocated to applications.
