Can't figure out what is causing plex to slow down and crash daily

[cblevins321]

Is it by chance happening close to someone starting to watch a movie?

PLEX movie issue - CPU death spiral

Same here, running latest plex beta on windows 10. Only occurs to movies, never series. Tried NVIDIA and Intel GPUs for HW transcoding, no apparent difference in crashing. Only “fix” I know of is to disable hardware transcoding completely.
