Help with nvidia transcoding on plex container

I've watched spaceinvaderones latest tutorial for unraid 6.9.0+ from earlier this year (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkC5Hi-rO2c) on adding the nvidia gpu for transcoding in plex but the latest version of plex linuxserver is missing NVIDIA VISIBLE DEVICES parameter where you input the gpu id. So I'm pretty much at a dead end here. I've searched around and can't find anything to troubleshoot this. Anyone know a solution? Thanks

You just need to add it to the template. Go to edit the container > at the bottom click "Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device" > change the config type to variable > Key = NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES > Value = your GPU ID

I've ran into this issue twice and both time resolved it with your comment. Thanks a lot, dude.

In extra parameters I added the following option:

--gpus all,capabilities=video

Using the official Plex docker image... It's working great. You could pass a specific GPU ID number as well if you have multiple GPUs
