Hi all - recently moved my old docker setup across to Podman rootless containers, however I am having some trouble with getting my Plex container to use the on CPU hardware transcoding.

“/dev/dri” device is being passed into the container and after reading, I also added “–group-add=keep-groups” to my configuration.

Still no luck getting the “video” group to the plex user inside the container so it can access the device.

Anyone successfully running rootless Plex with H/W transcode?

    Passing hw to rootless is hard. I think you’d need to match the groups inside the container to the host or make sure that the user can access the needed stuff from uid alone, as the group might not exist in the container and you end up groupless inside
