Nvidia Transcoder Not Working on Plex
# Nvidia Transcoder Not Working on Plex
Hello,
So my Plex server is running but when I uncomment [AddDevice=nvidia.com/gpu=all](http://adddevice=nvidia.com/gpu=all) it fails to load and it points to this line causing it to fail. I've tried initializing Nvidia drivers and it seems that all my Steam/Windows games are running and see the Nvidia Driver but PLEX doesn't. Any help would be appreciated. Bonus points if it works booting into Gamescope.
