Server Version#: 1.17.0.1841
Player Version#: TCL 55R615 Roku TV
Server Hardware: Intel Nuc8i3 + Windows 10 Pro 1809 headless
Starting at least a month or so ago, my otherwise very stable plex server has begun crashing every couple of days. Usually this coincides with my friend attempting to remote play something on his 55R615 TCL Roku TV via 4mbps remote stream. Hardware Transcoding is turned on normally, but since today’s crash i’ve turned it off for troubleshooting. I’ve attached my server logs and crash dump from the crash that happened this afternoon during a remote stream start. I found this thread where an FFMPEG upstream update was supposed to fix a quicksync transcoding crash in 1703 but I’m now on 1841 without any perceptible changes.
This happened three times within the same movie last week. Restarted the server, everything fine for 45ish minutes, my friend and I could resume what we were watching, then it seemed to crash the server when my friend would load up the next episode of the show he was watching.
The end of my Plex Media Server.log details my friend starting a remote stream this afternoon - plex throws a bunch of nvidia codec errors and then crashes when calling quick sync:
