Hey everybody! After a few days of banging my head on my desk, I have succeeded in creating both Plex and Emby docker containers that can utilize my Nvidia Quadro P620 GPU for transcoding video!
I have documented what I did here: https://gist.github.com/weshofmann/620b ... 15e48e793b
Hope this helps someone else!

You're a legend, going to try this with my ts-473 now.

Re: [PLEX NVIDIA] Nvidia Hardware Transcoding in Plex and Emby Docker Containers
Is this still working?
I am getting this error:
