I think there's a series of bugs that all came together to leave me in a bad situation.

Last week I successfully got the Nvidia driver working for Plex transcoding. Looking in the forms I think this might have something to do with what's happened to my Plex container today.

I just upgraded from 7.2.3 to 7.2.5 and I thought everything was running fine. A few hours later I noticed that even though my Plex doctor was running it was not actually accessible and was not hosting any files to my users. I've been using Ben hex Plex pass.

I thought maybe there was a Plex update that needed to run on the new version of Unraid. I checked for updates and there was a new one so I installed it. What's the install wias finished the Plex docker disappeared from the list. I went to the apps section and it was no longer installed. I reinstalled it thinking it would still use the same configuration but after installing, it's running as a brand new configuration of the server.

I have a backup of my Unraid flash from the end of last month. If I restore that would that get my Plex server back to how it was?

How do I restore a flash backup?

Best bet is to see the last post or post there, and don't forghetthe diagnostics

[Plugin] Nvidia-Driver - Plugin Support - Unraid

I had the exact same thing happen.

I upgraded and now my Plex docker won't even start.

Any ideas?

I don't know what happened or why. The Nvidia plugin is secondary and not the main problem I'm trying to deal with.

I got my server back up and running.

Ultimately, I had to reconfigure the Plex docker to direct to the configuration folder. I have Plex using its own appdata share so that it's easier to move it around since it is substantially larger than any other docker's appdata.

I've been running the Benhex-plexpass docker for so long that some of the paths and variables don't match up with what is in the default configuration. After setting my paths back up, the docker started up and it's working again.

If you weren't using the defaults for the location of the Plex app data, make sure to change the path so that it points to wherever you had it.

I checked my Nvidia driver, and it was using one that isn't good for my card, so I changed it to an older version, rebooted and I'm back up and running! Whew!

Thanks for the tip!
