Jailmaker + GPU passthrough to Plex?

Hello.

I have all of my apps set up via the famous Capt Stux video. ie. using Jailmaker + Docker + Dockge.

I have an nvidia GPU that was working in Plex via Truecharts in the past. However, I can’t seem to get it working in this new setup.

Has any successfully set up an nvidia gpu within the Capt Stux setup and got it working with Plex? If so, can you share the settings and steps needed?

Thank you for any help!

Thank you.

I had tried everything in the guide, except for the first step. nvidia-smi showed my device correctly (I believe it did so before I made any changes…).

That said, before doing any further changes I did the test from the guide and it looks like transcoding is actually already working for me. I see the “(hw)” tag in the now playing window.

The confusing thing is that, in the Plex settings, the “Hardware transcoding device” drop-down only has “Auto” and does not list a device. When GPU passthrough was set up via Truecharts, the device did appear in this drop-down.

I realize this may be a more Plex-specific question at this point. But, do you know if it’s expected in some cases to not see your GPU in that list and it’s really working ok (based on the “(hw)” tag)?
