1 jpadgett Posted Monday at 05:22 AM Posted Monday at 05:22 AM I am just need to figure out the GPU to put in my Dell r530 it has 2 low profile sockets. But I am limited to 25 to 30 watts of draw. Still doing my research. Quote
0 Midnight2ss Posted Saturday at 04:06 AM Posted Saturday at 04:06 AM Plex took about 15 minutes to installed. there were 0 settings or anything to configure. any setting (Currently in this beta version) to change goes back into the truenas UI 1 Quote

0 Jor Posted Sunday at 05:37 AM Posted Sunday at 05:37 AM Yeah we need GPU support. Attempted to do it via TrueNas UI but have just been getting errors. 1 Quote
0 Hirvikarhu Posted Monday at 08:20 AM Posted Monday at 08:20 AM Easy to use gpu passtrough would be great and if selected gpu is not supported, simply error message would be nice. Quote

0 Vroar Posted Tuesday at 07:12 AM Posted Tuesday at 07:12 AM Don't you need a plex pass for hardware transcoding ? Quote
0 Chris Posted 14 hours ago Author Posted 14 hours ago Here is how I got GPU passthru to work. First I logged into the trunas UI and went to System -> Shell Once in the shell I ran a command to find my gpu slot and uuid truenas_admin@YOUR-NAS[~]$ midclt call app.gpu_choices | jq { "PCI_SLOT_VALUE": { "vendor": "NVIDIA", "description": "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960", "vendor_specific_config": { "uuid": "GPU_UUID" }, "pci_slot": "PCI_SLOT_VALUE" } } Then I ran a command to set those values in the plex app truenas_admin@YOUR-NAS[~]$ midclt call -job app.update plex '{"values": {"resources": {"gpus": {"use_all_gpus": false, "nvidia_gpu_selection": {"PCI_SLOT_VALUE": {"use_gpu": true, "uuid": "GPU_UUID"}}}}}}' SORRY I DID NOT CAPTURE THE OUTPUT Quote

After that it was fine. Quote
