plex-cuda-transcoder's Introduction

Plex CUDA Transcoder

Applications like Plex will record live TV content as MPEG2 files with a .TS extension. Watch the folder where .TS (MPEG2) videos are recorded and then transcode to H264 using a CUDA enabled video card. There is an optional H265 script provided in the container at /usr/src/app/scripts. Just set the environmental variable SCRIPT to '/usr/src/app/scripts/ffmpeg-h265.sh'

Requirements

Test Docker with Nvidia Card

docker run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:11.4.0-base nvidia-smi
