Holding down the left mouse button while scrubbing the film causes a server crash!
If any user searches like this, the server crashes and kicks everyone out!

Intel 265K/64gb ram/Samsung 990 pro

Fix please…. Very big problem.

Thanks

I’ve tried this on my server. It’s not really crashing. The server is just very busy for quite a while.
It will get accessible again after a few minutes.

The server will be very busy for me as well, and at the same time it will become unreachable. It disconnects all users. Try it perhaps while the remote users are connecting!
After that, it takes 5–10 minutes for it to recover on its own.

@n4mk You haven’t listed the server version or provided your PMS logs. Can you please enable debug logging, reproduce the issue, download your PMS logs, and share them here or to me?

Of course! Which log files do you need? Do they contain sensitive data about the users? The current server version is: 1.42.2.10156.

Thx

Edit:

I sent it in private!

@n4mk What browser are you using? Are you connecting via app.plex.tv or through the bundled web app (ipAddress:32400/web)?

I always use the latest version of everything (Google Chrome 144.0.7559.110).

As I said, any of my remote users can trigger a server crash by scrolling into a media element while holding down the left mouse button. After that, the connection to the server is interrupted for several minutes for everyone who was watching something at the time.

I open the application from the PMS system tray icon, and that’s how I end up in the browser.

And you’re able to reproduce this as well? So to reproduce the issue

  1. Play media
  2. Drag the seek head forward or back
  3. Bang! PMS crash

Is this with any file or a specific file?

I can reproduce it anytime with any media, but I’d rather not because of the users.
I can invite you to try it if you send an account name in private. You try it, and it kicks you out along with everyone else :slight_smile:

When it crashes is the process killed (PMS icon is no longer in the System Tray and no PMS process running in Task Manager)?

I might not be using the right word, sorry!
The server doesn’t shut down, but you can’t do anything with it — it’s unreadable and unresponsive.

I had no problems streaming multiple pieces of content from your server. Do have any chrome extensions enabled? Are they enabled while in incognito mode? If not, try to reproduce in incognito mode?
