I am trying to get HW transcode working. I am trying to follow Docker
I have docker desktop for windows installed on windows 10. I have an 19-13900 CPU with GPU
I can get a docker container created with
docker run -d --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri --name plex -p 32400:32400/tcp -p 3005:3005/tcp -p 8324:8324/tcp -p 32469:32469/tcp -p 1900:1900/udp -p 32410:32410/udp -p 32412:32412/udp -p 32413:32413/udp -p 32414:32414/udp -e TZ=“US/Pacific” -e PLEX_CLAIM=“claim-myuniqueID” -e ADVERTISE_IP=“http://192.168.3.12:32400/” -h WIN10-PlexServer -v C:\plex_database:/config -v C:\temp:/transcode -v E::/media0 -v H::/media1 -it plexinc/pms-docker
Everything installs fine and plexmediaserver loads up fine. If I open a shell inside the container I can see the video hardware.
ls -l /dev/dri
total 0
crw------- 1 root root 226, 0 Apr 15 21:49 card0
crw------- 1 root root 226, 128 Apr 15 21:49 renderD128
Stumped at this point. I installed the linux drivers for the video card. Still can not get plex to HW transcode. It always wants to SW transcode. I am pointing to a 4k dolby vision video. I was able to transcode this with HW under linux. But stuck with the windows->docker->linux
I can see it try and load nvidia drivers but seems to skip over testing for intel hardwar. I am hoping there is some step I am missing to tell plex to use the i915 video hardware for transcode.
