Transcoding failing with Nvidia GPU

FYI: For the first second after attempting to play a video that requires transcoding, here is the output of nvidia-smi.

Yeah. Its going to try to start then fail.

Also, I forgot this was unRAID. Honestly, you'd probably have more luck going to the unRAID forum. Some component of the Nvidia driver is not updating and I don't know how to go about resolving that.

Do you have any idea why it would work fine for plex transcoding, but not jellyfin?

I'm assuming their version of ffmpeg has a different minimum requirement for the nvenc API.
