Converting to a lower quality fails with Hardware-Accelerated Streaming in Plex Web

I cant tell if that is the TV that passes transcoding or not. TV works while transcoding this is a Plex Web issue. If that is infact the Plex web “working” then what plex assumes is happening and what is happening are different?

Here’s something that might aid you.

This video showing console output and a terminal window showing current nvidia gpu processes. Plex fails to transcode 6 times here and somehow succeeds on the second try only to go back to failing every attempt after that on other files. Attached below is this same log file as what i record in the clip above where it is clearly failing to transcode.

Normally the encoder starts and instantly dies (as can be seen in the terminal output) and produces no output followed by plex either freezing momentarily or giving an error.
