Unable to use nvidia GPU with Jellyfin after 24.10 upgrade

Is the UUID you have in the .yaml the same as the UUID you get when you use the nvidia-smi -L command?

Also, in Plex you have to configure the transcoding option to use the GPU. Simply enabling GPU access when mounting the application will not make Plex use it; it just makes the GPU available to the app.

Thanks, this works. In addition you need to define the the iommu group for your gpu, my case 0000:82:00.0 with the lspci -Dnn | grep -i NVIDIA.

  gpus:
    nvidia_gpu_selection:
      '0000:82:00.0':
        use_gpu: true
        uuid: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        use_all_gpus: false

EE no longer uses the ixapplications dataset. It creates a hidden dataset on your apps pool and then mounts that hidden dataset to /mnt/.ix-apps, so this will be the default path for all installs

24

that command gives me 0000:02:00.1. However, if I set this Plex won’t even start. If I set 0000:02:00.0 instead, Plex will start, but hw transcoding doesn’t work.

25

Can I make a suggestion? Maybe starting a new thread with your issue and posting the diagnostic information (like above, or in the stickied post) will help. Your issue is related to transcoding but is definitely a different issue, so you might have better luck with people focusing solely on that.

Just chiming in to confirm that I followed CtagaDev’s instructions above and transcoding now works for me as well. Thank you!!!

Thanks to everyone for their input. The workaround from @CtagaDev worked for me, I’m marking it as a solution to this topic.

Sorry but I am a real newbie when it comes to this but I have just upgraded to 24.10 and I am having the same issues which adding my GPU to my Plex app. I have installed the Nvidia drivers and can see the GPU but I don’t know how to edit the command line to add in the UUID. Is someone able to step me through this process? Thanks
