This is a how to, rather than an argument for using Arc A380 with Unraid, Plex and Tdarr.You will need a 2nd computer to update the files on your unRAID Flash/USB.You will also likely need the Intel GPU TOP plugin.Based upon the guide of u/o_Zion_o and the kernel releases of thor2002ro
Steps it took:
- Go to the MAIN tab in unRAID, find the Boot Device, click on the link to Flash, and use the FLASH BACKUP option. This will be your failback should you find issues and wish to revert to previous settings.
Go to the TOOLS tab in unRAID, find the About section, choose Update OS. I updated to 6.12.4.
- Follow the restart steps per normal.
- REPEAT the Flash Backup step now you are using 6.12.4
- Shut down the Array/unRAID and then remove the USB Flash drive.
- Download and extract the archive :
Example of an archives contents. Extras are optional
- You will REPLACE/OVERWRITE the 4 ‘bz’ files from the archive to the USB. Adding the Extras won’t hurt.
- Plug the USB drive back into your server and power it on.
- If everything boots ok, proceed. If not, start back at the first step and continue up to the previous point, but use the files you backed up earlier to revert the changes and get unRAID up and running again.
- Add the following to the PLEX docker. Extra Parameters field:
--device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri
- Add a new device to the PLEX docker. Value is
/dev/dri/renderD128
- Save the changes and PLEX will restart.
After this, if you go to the PLEX Settings page > Transcoding - and change the Hardware transcoding device to DG2 [Arc A380]
![DG2 [Arc A380]](https://preview.redd.it/8l3hdkty4msb1.png?width=1018&format=png&auto=webp&s=e9adcfb9361a061d49dcddf8c4fea4bd278ea7eb){kind=link}
Plex should now use the A380 for Transcodes when required.
Forced Transcode by using Edge.
Tdarr: Add the Extra Parameters: --device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri
Tdarr should now be able to use your A380.
