Is there anyone that could help me out with this issue. I cannot get the HW transcoding working on Plex.
Things I have confirmed.
Latest Nvidia plugin.
GPU parameters on the docker.
Running latest Unraid 6.10-rc2
Running a EVGA GTX 1060 6GB
Using the standard plexinc docker with plex pass.
Followed the steps outlined at the beginning of this thread.
Here is my nvidia-smi output:

But I'm also seeing these errors in my Plex Server.
