Unraid Server - Help with Hardware Transcoding

Channels DVR Server
#1

I am running Channels DVR in a Docker container on my Unraid server v6.9.1 with a NVidia P2000 GPU in the server. I installed Channels DVR using the ChannelsDVR-NVidia template. I did the steps to edit /boot/config/go to add the line modprobe i915 , and configure your container to pass-through the /dev/dri device. Under Settings Transcoding only Software transcoding appears.

Hardware Transcoding works on my Plex server. Not sure why it's not working with Channels DVR. Anyone else with a similar setup that can help out?

Maybe this will help: Unraid - Nvidia Transcoding

Thanks @tmm1 that was the post I needed. Using the @timstephens24 template instead of fancybits was the trick. https://community.getchannels.com/u/timstephens24

Let me know if you have any issues after that. I have had one issue I've had to fix for someone, but hopefully it goes well.
