TVS1282 not using GPU for transcoding in PLEX
Any input is appreciated.
CPU Usage goes up to >90% on 4K transcoding. Even HD or 720 transcoding will not use GPU.
Screenshots.
Thanks for your help

Re: TVS1282 not using GPU for transcoding in PLEX
you have a plexpass?
probably best asked in the plex forums

Re: TVS1282 not using GPU for transcoding in PLEX
Solved it. Seems as PLEX needs dedicated statement to find path to GPU driver.
By editing Preferences.xml in/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml (with PMS stopped) , adding HardwareDevicePath="/dev/dri/renderD129" before the closing /> in the file.
What we’re doing is telling the transcoder to specifically look at that device and not the QSV ASIC in your CPU.

Re: TVS1282 not using GPU for transcoding in PLEX
even using qsv, it should not have caused CPU spikes though (unless using not supported codecs)

I was having the same issue. Thanks for sharing. This also solved my problem.

Re: TVS1282 not using GPU for transcoding in PLEX
Thanks for your solution, however I noticed that the hardware ID of the graphics card was render128 for me.
Just look in the specified path /dev /dri/.
Now everything works fine and the CPU usage is at 10%!!!!

Re: TVS1282 not using GPU for transcoding in PLEX
Hello, how should I view this ".xml " file? I added a "/dev/dri " command to DOCKER, and I can see that the permission of " renderD128 " is " 777 " in SSH, but I still cannot use hard solution in plex pass. The panel shows that although it is transcoded, but does not show "HW". The CPU usage is above 95%. My NAS is TS-464C, CPU is N5105, and memory is 8G.nasgul wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 6:13 pm Solved it. Seems as PLEX needs dedicated statement to find path to GPU driver.

Re: TVS1282 not using GPU for transcoding in PLEX
sure your NAS has a dedicated GPU? pretty sure qsv is all it does (and qsv can't be passed through afaik)

My NAS's GPU is UHD Graphics 600 or 605.And what is "afaik",my knowledge is not very rich

Re: TVS1282 not using GPU for transcoding in PLEX
My ".xml" is installed in the Container directory, and the renderD128 code is added at the end according to your method. After restarting, although the code is still there, it still cannot use the hard solution.CaoJY-CN wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 10:20 pmHello, how should I view this ".xml " file?

Re: TVS1282 not using GPU for transcoding in PLEX
afaik is "as far as i know"
gpu passdown to containers was only possible with dedicated gpu's not with cpu internal ones (if that changed..great)

Re: TVS1282 not using GPU for transcoding in PLEX
First question: Do you mean that only dedicated GPU can be recognized and called by containers, while GPU in CPU cannot be recognized and called?
Second question: Is the dedicated GPU similar to RTX 3060?
My English is not very good. I hope you can forgive me.

Re: TVS1282 not using GPU for transcoding in PLEX
yes..
and a dedicated gpu is a dedicated gpu..yes..does not have to be a gaming card ...and while I cant find any info on your NAS model, with that CPU ,I doubt you can stick any GPU's into it. (low end)
