Can't see my GPU working

[denisj 2]

Hi there all, 

I have migrate my Emby from a Qnap to a new Proxmox server and I have installed Emby in a LXC.

I have made a GPU Passthrough and I can see my Nvidia GPU in the transcode menu. 

 

 

What I try is to see the nvtop command in order to understand if the GPU is work. 

Cause if I play a movie my GPU is not working... 

 

Is there any type of file that I can ply in order to see if the GPU is work please ? 

Thanks a lot

Denis

The fact that you see the Decoders & Encoders listed almost surly means they will work when needed (only when the video needs to be transcoded) Note: NVidia drivers limit the # of concurrent transcodes as does VRam.

You can see what is playing and how it's being fed to the client on your server's Dashboard (Direct play won't use any hardware (or software) transcoding). Or if you install the 'Diagnostics PlugIn' you can see exactly how emby is delivering the videos to the clients by going to 'User Sessions' on your server.

If you would like to test how well your server can transcode, use the following Plugin:

and run the tests...

You can also change the maximum bit rate on the client to be less than the stream rate of the video you are trying to play and this will force the server to transcode and you can see this as stated above.

Greate app ... now I see the GPU working

Thanks a lot for the answer.

After the test is finish, I found some error

I paste here one of this: 

 

Is this normal please ? 

Thanks again

That’s probably not normal a dev @softworkzshould look at this.

In order to help them find what is happening you should attach all the log from when this test was run.

[denisj 2]

Thanks a lot for the help. 

Here is the Emby LOG after the test.

Thanks again

I will guess the Run_16 logs as I don't see any errors in the server logs shown in screens above.

[denisj 2]

Oh... sorry, just now I understand how the log was working

Here is the RUN_16 log. 

I still have other error log files, but I think that if we can solve this one, the rest seams same error

Thanks a lot again

Not entirely sure but this would still be a different log then your screenshot

[denisj 2]

That log file was taken from the LOG menu of Emby.

Ok... I have save the folder of the Trascoding add-on LOG test on my PC. 

But in the run_16 folder is 2 log files. 

I think this time is the right one

Thanks again

Hi, why don't we get back to the original question:

Let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Could you share your lxc.conf file? And did you make sure to chmod the /dev/dri on the host for proper permissions for the gpu to passthrough to the lxc?

That files is from the "Transcoding Tests" plugin.

OK previous replies sent you to the diagnostics plugin. Let's start with the basics:

Sorry for late but I must watch some video this evening and I'll copy the log after some errors.
