A Little Help with GPU Passthrough on Emby LXC Install

[AVTechMan 8]

Hello, I have been trying to get Emby Server to install as an unprivileged LXC container in Proxmox. And thanks to the helper script it made that process fairly easy. The only thing I am having trouble with is the GPU passthrough; I have a Quadro P400 installed in the server that is not in use by anything else, but during the script install it keeps skipping over the GPU portion as it keeps saying this:

Detected NVIDIA GPU
    NVIDIA GPU detected via PCI but no /dev/nvidia* devices found
  Skipping NVIDIA passthrough (host drivers may not be loaded)
  No GPU devices found for passthrough

I am guessing that I would have to install something prior to running the script so that it can be detected? I've read that using an LXC is alot lighter on resources compared to using a Windows VM but seems anything linux based is much harder to implement if one is not fluent in the command line, which I can eventually figure out over time. 

Anyway I am hoping to get the passthrough working so that maybe I can use Emby in the form for my media. Then there's the issue of doing the SMB binding from my Unraid server where all my media currently resides. 

Worse come to shove i'll just install the server in the Windows VM where its not as hard to setup. But it would be nice to try something different.

That wont work either, the VM wont be able to access the the hardware if the drivers are not installed on the host.(also a Win VM is a big waste or resources).

Please search for "how to install nvidia drivers on proxmox"

Then run the helper script again..

Not if using PCI passthrough, which I assume is what they meant they would do.
