  • Hey person :) First of all I get your frustrations. Hopefully you can figure this out!

    Have you verified that the card is working outside of Plex, i.e. using glxspheres/gears and other tests?

    Can you verify using the nvidia-smi command if Plex is using the card;

    1. For local playback
    2. While you do a remote stream?

    On your local network (TV/Shield) make sure you’re accessing Plex by IP address and that IP is in the remote access list in Plex server settings. If you use fqdn or reverse proxy url Plex will (infuriatingly) assume that you’re accessing stuff remotely and slow down.

    In my own experience, after facing similar issues, I spun up jellyfin using their HW acceleration wiki instructions and left both running. My family seems to find it more problem free than Plex. I still have Plex but only use it rarely for few things that jellyfin doesn’t support.



  • Great move :)

    I used to love the debian community on reddit. I use arch on desktop and debian on servers, however the arch community was a mixture of few really smart people and lots of angry people.

    Loved how in the debian sub everyone was quiet and helpful without making a fuss. It felt like a really friendly community.

    I’ll chip in wherever I can too in helping people out.
