Media Server Keeps Losing Connection

I keep losing connection to the media server and only way to get it back is to kill the process and restart. This will usually reconnect, but then it drops again 2 minutes later. I have no idea what is causing this. Any suggestions?

Starting today, as soon as I start Plex in my Smart TV, the Plex media server process on my Windows 10 laptop crashes!

It works when I stream to my android or other devices.

This is the first time it happens in the last years I’ve been using Plex.
Sounds like a similiar issue you’re having?

I ended up reverting to an older build (1.18.6) and it seems to have resolved the issue. Hopefully developers figure out the issue for future builds.

Your crashes which were on 1.18.6.2368-97add474d got fixed in 1.18.7.2434
