In the Plex app config I see the choices for “Allocate x nvidia.com/GPU” where x is 0 to 5.
I have one GPU:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107GL [Quadro P400] (rev a1)
But when I select 1, I receive the error message:
middlewared.service_exception.ValidationErrors: [EINVAL] values.plexGPU.nvidia.com/gpu: Invalid choice: 1
Why?
It seems the ix chart for Plex is really screwed up. I can’t transcode anything either without a storage error (different post).
This is a new install of TrueNAS from scratch, coming from 22.x version before using TrueCharts and everything worked perfectly.
Should I just go to nightly and try the 24.10 version in advance? :-/
Any hints would be appreciated.
having this same issue with a quadro P1000. the plex app had been working fine with my gpu selected for at least a year? now it fails to update unless i select gpu 0. now it won’t let me change the config back to 1 after an update.
I upgraded to TrueNAS-SCALE-24.10.1 and had to install NVIDIA drivers again.
After fixing the UUID issue, I noticed the GPU doesn’t show up in Plex even though it showed up a few months ago when I first converted to Electric Eel and had to manually add this fix in the config file:
Here’s a shot of my Plex config at /mnt/.ix-apps/user_config.yaml:

Actually, even using Auto, it works:

CPU usage was at 0-1%. It wasn’t being used for transcoding at all!
