You know, I think it is just with the web client... I appreciate the rapid response. Thanks

I think this may be the right place to ask this. My self and it seems a couple others are experiencing an issue where a transcode process starts then almost immediately stops (as seen from nvidia-smi). Sometimes I'll get an error popup on plex, other times the video just never loads. I can sometimes 'trick' it into holding on to a process and working, but not always. I'm running unraid 6.12.0 and I have tried several things including using the plexinc/plex, linuxserver/plex, and binhex/plexpass images, using nvidia driver versions 535.54.03 and 535.43.02, and switching GPU PCIe slots. I don't know if this is any thing, but GPU Statistics indicates power state-throttling: p8 yes(gpu_idle). I also saw no change in either the plex logs or the unraid log.

I've just been trying to get Nvidia hardware encoding to work. I am having apparently this exact issue. The GPU seems to start a process for encoding then drops it almost immediately. One thing I have noticed though is if I switch back and forth between original quality and a transcode a couple times, it seems to trick it into keeping the process running. However, this is very annoying and far from a solution. I'll note I've updated to Unraid 6.12.0, installed the latest Nvidia Drivers from the plugin, restarted, added the --runtime=nvidia and the nvidia devices environment variable for plex, restarted again, switched PCIe slots, somewhere said to make sure a cable is plugged into the card so I tried that, and switched to a different plex image (from plexinc to linuxserver). All to no avail. Edit: I've also tried using the binhex/plexpass image. I am currently trying the linuxserver image with a different nvidia driver version
