Hello, I’m using RancherOS to run an app (Plex) on an Intel Gen7 i3 NUC. The application supports hardware transcoding, but I cannot seem to get it working. As my Linux knowledge isn’t very deep, I was hoping someone could point me to the right direction. There are some guides on how people get it working inside a Docker container, e.g. [https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/254541/plex-version-1-4-x-hardware-hw-transcoding-working-in-docker-on-i7-4790k](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/254541/plex-version-1-4-x-hardware-hw-transcoding-working-in-docker-on-i7-4790k), but the guides involves exposing /dev/dri devices to the container. Anyhow, there does not seem to be any devices under /dev/dri on my RancherOS installation. I’m I missing something? Should some [additional kernel modules be loaded](https://docs.rancher.com/os/configuration/loading-kernel-modules/)? Thank you. ---

have you tried to add the kernel-extra service? [http://rancher.com/docs/os/v1.1/en/configuration/kernel-modules-kernel-headers/](http://rancher.com/docs/os/v1.1/en/configuration/kernel-modules-kernel-headers/) ---

I am new to RancherOS as well as containers, if you are able to get the transcoding to work, please share your recipe. Thanks! ---

Hi, I’m not using transcoding, but i do use hardware accel. You could try to enable the switch --privileged ---

Did you ever find a solution to this? I’m running into the same exact issue.
