Transcoding sessions directory not found after rebuild

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Server Version#: Version 1.14.1.5488
Player Version#:all

I accidentally deleted a perfectly functional Plex-Server container. When I brought the image back up, I it appears that it is in a odd state where some videos won’t work. The console error is:

Couldn’t find the file to stream: /transcode/Transcode/Sessions/plex-transcode-ptzv6rhkya8i4dng08juvkv7-35a9e02d-bd68-4935-9deb-9cbab71d2773/init-stream0.m4s,/transcode/Transcode/Sessions/plex-transcode-ptzv6rhkya8i4dng08juvkv7-35a9e02d-bd68-4935-9deb-9cbab71d2773/chunk-stream0-00529.m4s

In the container, the directory /transcode is there with space, but the sub-directory Transcode/Sessions is not:

/dev/sda3 1012855788 786431176 174951460 82% /data

My guess is that /transcode was a stateless container directory and some statefull database is expecting those files to be there.

Any suggestions on how I can fix it?

The root cause of this is I picked up an old:
plex:
image: linuxserver/plex:latest

instead of -->

plex:
image: plexinc/pms-docker:plexpass

Needed the later… everything worked again fine after that!
