I’m getting the following log spam every 100ms which is completely drowning out my log monitoring.

```auto
Dec 24, 2021 10:49:07.106 [0x7fcadaaabb38] INFO - Network Service: Abandoning browse socket, it was closed.
Dec 24, 2021 10:49:07.106 [0x7fcadaaabb38] ERROR - Network Service: Error in browser handle read: 125 (Operation canceled) socket=-1

```

This started a few days ago after I updated plex media server to latest.

Please don’t just close this, it is an entirely different log message than the other thread. It is an ERROR. Also I’m a paying customer.

Please add the DEBUG log files which include the full startup sequence.

It is impossible to diagnose two lines in isolation.

PMS will abandon listening on virtual adapters / subnets when it discovers there is no external connectivity to a LAN or WAN.

An example of this is a defined but inactive virtual adapter (`virbr0`)
