How can I use the GPU to encode plex media

HiiiroZZ · Nov 25th 2020

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to use the GPU to encode movies on plex?

And if you know, how can I do it?

Assuming you are using the linuxserver/plex image:

Have a look at hardware acceleration here:

https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/plex

There are also some threads in the forums.

Ok thank you, and do you have an idea to solve this problem for installing the NVIDIA driver?
