Is there a way to get hardware encoding for Plex or Jellfin when using Proxmox or TrueNAS scale. I want to do a setup for a media server using containers but I am worried about the hardware encoding limitations.

For Proxmox yes. I use one VM with pci pass thru, that pci is a Nividia Card. Works good on Plex, Jellyfin and Tdarr.
My board has iommu issues so I am not sure I can do this. It doesn’t sound very practical to buy a separate GPU anyway.
Do you have to have Plex, Jellyfin, and Tdarr all in the same container or VM?
Yup, TrueNAS SCALE supports HW pass through to app containers.
I do passthru for my 1080ti for a plex vm. Works great. Once in a while I have to kick the vm as it may not attach but its rare.
