If your computer has an NVIDIA GPU, please install the latest Latest NVIDIA drivers for Linux to make sure that Plex can use your NVIDIA graphics card for video encoding (only) when Intel Quick Sync Video becomes unavailable. If your Linux computer also has a dedicated graphics card, the video encoding acceleration of Intel Quick Sync Video may become unavailable when the GPU is in use. Supports Intel Quick Sync Video (Not sure? Look up your processor) (Other distributions may be capable, but are not officially supported.)Ī recent Intel CPU meeting these requirements:Ģnd-generation Intel Core (Sandy Bridge, 2011) or newer (we recommend 5th-gen Broadwell or newer for the best experience Sandy Bridge, in particular, is known to sometimes have poor visual output on Linux) Hardware-Accelerated Streaming on Linux requires:Ħ4-bit Ubuntu (16.04 or later) or 64-bit Fedora (26 or later) distributions.

Here is what Plex says about Linux requirements for hardware acceleration: They are only mentioned as being supported on Plex in Windows not Linux. Some in the community have looked into creating a version of unRAID with nVidia drivers (Like CHBMB does with his DVB version), but, that has not happened. Although there is a mention on that page of AMD GPU support from Plex, no details are given and there are no nVidia drivers in unRAID to support hardware acceleration with nVidia GPUs.

Short answer is that with a docker running on unRAID, you are limited to Intel iGPU with Quick Sync Video support. See Plex Hardware-Acelerated Streaming page for details. Guess might have to create it all again from scratch and loose all the watched information and playlists I did try a test Library on Unraid and then moved the database out of the directory, started Plex and it was gone, then moved it back to the same folder where it was before, and even the database created on Unraid did not display again. Many thanks, they all say it can be moved and it will display, then you just add the new paths to the Libraries and re-scan, then delete the old paths, but I am having trouble it displaying in the first place.

If the library (plex database) has Windows paths stored then probably some other method will be required if it is even possible at all. Might be simply the problem with the way Windows specifies paths with \ whereas Linux specifies paths with /. Have you researched this in the Plex forums? Unless all the paths are exactly the same it won't work of course, and possibly not even then. I don't know if Plex Windows library is compatible with Plex Linux library or not.
