[All of the sudden, playing plex vids completely crashes the server.]

Thanks.  I looked into this earlier, and at that time there wasn't any lines written to syslog when it failed.  I tried both writing to a local syslog, and a remote syslog collector.  I will try it again with the remote syslog, to see if it was a on-off.  I was hoping that something would be in the diagnostics.  

[All of the sudden, playing plex vids completely crashes the server.]

Hello there.  Plex has been working for years without issue.  Now, when I play videos it will quite often crash the server to the point where shuts down, and I have to physically start it up again.  I figured it was a crashed hard drive, so I recently downloaded unBalance and tried moving everything off of the hard drive I thought was problematic.  Still no luck.  Could be one of the other drives, but I figured I'd ask the community for help.  I don't really use it for much besides plex these days, so it's possible that any processor intensive app could crash it too. 

 

Many thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction!

[[Support] binhex - Plex Pass]

Hello fine people.  I'm having one hell of a problem with my server as of late.  Been using unraid for about a year without issues, until I installed the unifi video docker container.  I think I had it was misconfigured upon installation, and somehow used the docker image as data storage.  That locked up my whole system, and I was forced to hard shut down the server.  Luckily everything appears to have come back.  I then had to delete the docker image, and reinstall the containers.  Thought life was great again, but alas I have been unable to play any of my plex media.  The latest message I get from plex is "couldn't retrieve the play queue for this item".  I have spent the last few days trying everything I can think of: installing just the (binhex-plexpass) plex container, try other plex containers, etc.  To no avail.  Anyone have any ideas?  I created a diagnostics file to attach it here.  I would like to get the binhex one working again, as that's been the best behaving one.  

 

Here's what I see over and over in the docker.log file:

time="2018-06-23T21:15:16.787863181-04:00" level=error msg="Failed to log msg \"\" for logger json-file: error writing log entry: write /var/lib/docker/containers/bbf2c38464cfe96c007d8ba87e2d146d9e803e30c37effe63c3a4aa0d4e2c686/bbf2c38464cfe96c007d8ba87e2d146d9e803e30c37effe63c3a4aa0d4e2c686-json.log: read-only file system"
