Scale, Plex, Nvidia

Hi,
This is another can I get hardware transcodes working for Plex.

Code:

I have a Quadro P2000 - which as far as I am aware should be suitable - my google fu seems to indicate so

I have the IX Plex App set for Allocate 1 nvidia.com/GPU GPU

But what I get is:
"0/1 nodes are available: 1 Insufficient nvidia.com/gpu. preemption: 0/1 nodes are available: 1 No preemption victims found for incoming pod."

This implies to me that the GPU isn't being detected by K3S for some reason.

Any thoughts - I thought this should just work - apparently not (or am I missing something)?

Hardware is my Primary NAS in my Signature. I have not isolated the GPU

Did you ever get this sorted? I have the same card, it's an excellent card for Plex transcoding and handles more streams than most - and being quadro it's completely unlocked (some of the consumer ones only transcode 2 streams without hackery).

Anyway, it used to work on unraid, I can see Plex detects it, but when I play something transcoded it just wheelspins and doesn't seem to communicate to the GPU. Still trying to sort it.....

I think its working since I updated. Given that I mostly direct stream - I suspect it doesn't get used much. I really must test properly one of these days
