Hardware encoding failing to start depending on client trying to play (Firefox/Plex web)

I attempted downgrading the server to a few previous versions nothing had any affect nor did changing the nvidia driver. I stumbled across this long running thread which has several people with the same issue, hopefully someone either figures out a fix or plex can address it.

I hadn’t noticed any wild CPU usage or rogue processes in nvidia-smi with my testing but maybe ill give it a shot again at the weekend.
