Hello, Currently running Plex on M1 Mac Mini. I starting having issues with 1.29x crashing constantly and the updates didn’t fix it. So I rolled back to 1.28.2.6151 - and it’s still crashing. I’m heading out of town and need it working reliably while I’m gone. Up until now, it’s been by far the mos…

@nibbles , done! Photos library gone. Funnily enough. In the few minutes it took me to type the replies and send the screenshot, Plex crashed again. Fingers crossed that Photos library is the issue. I can setup again later on and actually add my photos. But I certainly don’t need it for now. Hopefull…

crashy mac emojii. I also noticed one of the last logs timestamped was from com.plexapp.plugins.WebTools Are you using the newer webtools-ng ? Don’t tell dane, but I would remove any plugins while trying to get back to stability. The other log that’s being accessed during the crash time is com.pl…

@nibbles - another crash. :frowning: Super sad. I’ve attached the latest logs below. I don’t know the exact time of the crash but it was between my last post and about 3:45am EDT (about 15 minutes before this post, if your timezone makes that easier to figure). Now, I’ve really run into a problem. …

I’ve never run plugins, but I suppose you stop PMS then delete the .bundle file. Sort of the opposite of a manual plugin install .

@nibbles - thanks so much for that. I wondered if that would work. Clearly something went wrong in the later updates with those two plugins. In answer to your question, I don’t think I was using the Webtools version you mentioned - I think I might have been using an older version. I can play around…

@nibbles , I thought we finally had it working correctly but just now, while we were watching, it crashed again. This is different because the other times, the server was idle. Is there any chance you could take a look at the logs and see if you find an issue? The crashed happened within the last hou…

@nibbles , ugh. Another crash - this time while idle again. I’m desperately hoping to find out what’s doing this or I won’t have Plex working for half a day when we head out tomorrow. Do you think I need to do a full reinstall? I just hate to lose all our play/watch states. But I also don’t know if…

Morning. PMS stores everything on a Mac in ~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server If you copy that somewhere safe, you can do a complete uninstall then just run a new install for now. If you do the new install in a way that doesn’t try to create Video Preview Thumbnails, sonic analysis, …

Hi @nibbles ! Thanks so much for all the info. You’re amazing. :smiley: I feel really stupid but I can’t find where to enable to crash logging in PMS settings. I’ve searched and couldn’t find it there, either. :frowning: I don’t have any other plugins installed but there were still a couple in the …

[image] raevengel: do I just wait till it crashes then do the log pull again before restarting PMS? Exactly. The option is located in your server Settings → General (bottom one) [Bottom General] below you can see the Send crash reports & Save :slight_smile: [Send Crash Log] But you said: …

Thanks for understanding. I wish we had some help, but we can keep trying.
There was a new PMS today that addressed crashing when cleaning bundles which can happen overnight during scheduled tasks. Maybe it was for you (glass half full)
