September 5, 20232 yr 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! tower-diagnostics-20230905-0723.zip

September 5, 20232 yr Author 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.
