Server Version#: 1.42.2.10156 Player Version#: Plex Web, Plex for Mac I’m seeing a flickering connection to my Plex Media Server hosted on a seedbox. Every ~30–60 seconds the server briefly reports a secure connection issue, which interrupts playback and causes infinite buffering until I refresh (…

Restart PMS, wait 3 minutes and pull the logs again. Right now it looks like it only has local loopback for network.

Did the restart, but the logs are 5h old when I export. Not sure if this works for you: Plex Media Server.log (525.7 KB)

Looks to be working now, probably a temporary problem with your provider that required a restart.

Thanks, but sadly the issue is still occurring. Restarting PMS temporarily stabilizes things, but the problem returns shortly after. I’m still seeing brief secure-connection drops every ~30–60 seconds that interrupt playback (buffering until refresh). This happens consistently on Plex Web, Mac, LG…

Looks like you are possibly editing your server logs, so I cannot see what hosting provider you use. Which service do you use?

I’m using Ultra.cc. The logs are taken straight form the Plex export, I didn’t touch them; not sure what went wrong there. Will contact Ultra again, but they seemed sure this was a Plex issue (seems to be the case, since it’s client-dependent).

I’m seeing a similar issue. Hoping to follow along in this thread

Heard back from Ultra, turns out it might have been their side after all. They said they’re “having networking bonding issues” and it appears to have been fixed, so if this holds it wasn’t Plex after all. Thank you for your help! @ahnaf see if that solution applies to you too?

Ah I don’t think my issue is similar, but it gives me hope to see someone else’s issue resolved :slight_smile:

Well unless the provider has gotten themselves blocked by Plex you will have to walk through your config verifying everything.
