6.10.0-rc4 - Just updated Unraid, Plex wouldn't start, forced update, failed and now removed from Dockers list?

[VisualHudson]

As the title says, I've just updated Unraid for the first time in a couple of years from 6.9.something to 6.10.0-rc4.

 

As I was going through Unraid, I noticed that the Plex docker was not running. I tried manually starting it, but was getting a "execution error - bad parameter" message pop up. I saw there was an option to Force Update, even though it did say it was already up-to-date, so I tried that. The update failed and then completely removed Plex from my list of dockers. 

 

I'm not sure if this error was because I still had / have the Unraid Nvidia plugin installed which I know is not depreciated, however I didn't want to get rid of it until I figured out how to do it and how to make sure that Plex was still using the GPU. 

 

So now I'm panicking because I've completely lost Plex and have no idea what to do. I really hope that I will not have lost all of my settings and everything else I've spent the last few years getting just how I want it!

 

Please can someone help, what can I do?

 

Edit: So this thread seems to be very similar to the situation I have just had.

 

I have downloaded and installed the new nvidia driver from Community Applications. 

I have removed the old Unraid Nvidia plugin.

I think I now need to re-download and install a new Plex docker, but how can I go about that whilst also bringing back all of my old libraries, settings, etc?

Also I see that there are TWO binhex Plex dockers, one with and one with "plexpass" in the title. I do have Plex Pass, but I'm not sure that my previous docker had Plex Pass in the title. Does that matter? 

 

Edit 2: I think I've fixed the problem...

 

This one of the comments in this reddit thread suggested going to Apps > Previously Installed > Install Plex from there and it should bring back app the same mappings. It did!

 

I then used instructions in the 2nd post of this thread on the Unraid forums to add "Key: 'NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES' and as Value: 'all':" before re-installing that Plex docker. 

 

I've checked that Hardware Transcoding is turned on in Plex. I've checked in Plex that it is successfully doing hardware transcoding, and I've also checked through "watch nvidia-smi". All seems to be working and exactly as it was! 

 

Plex Web interface does look a little weird and different to what I'm used to. It's now got ALOT more of a bluey background, and seems to have merged On Deck with Continue Watching? But I'm guessing that this is another new Plex layout and nothing to do with anything else, not that I'm particularly bothered as I use PMP on my PC & laptop. 

 

Still not sure whether I got the docker with or without "plexpass" in the title, but it doesn't seem to be causing any problems either way....
