📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

I was able to successfully run the Plex helper script. I can see the GPU within the container.

root@plex:~# ls -l /dev/dri
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nogroup       80 Jul  7 13:43 by-path
crw-rw---- 1 nobody nogroup 226,   1 Jul  7 13:43 card1
crwxrwxrwx 1 nobody nogroup 226, 128 Jul  7 13:43 renderD128

However, I'm getting the following error in the log: "No VA display found for device /dev/dri/renderD128".

I've found that this seems to be related to permissions. When I change the permissions for /dev/dri/renderD128 to 777 on the Proxmox host, it works.

However, the permissions are lost after every restart of the host, it is therefore not a satisfactory solution.

Is this behavior normal, or is it a bug? Can someone help me?

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Install Plex with default configuration.

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

ERROR - [Req#228/Transcode] [FFMPEG] - No VA display found for device /dev/dri/renderD128.

Yeah, thats an missconfiguration of your Host. We dont change your Host, that is part for you.

Thats the reason why we enter following Hint: "Container is unprivileged – VAAPI passthrough may not work without additional host configuration (e.g., idmap)."
