Nightly Plex Upload without People Watching

Hi there,

sorry for my bad english its not my main language.

Here is my problem:
I watched yesterday that my Synology NAS uploads something with 1mb/s. After some research i figuered out that plex is uploading something but no user is watching something.
In the logs stands, that the last days plex uploads from 21:00pm to 05:00am.

Have someone the same problem?

kind regards

For how long? What was the data volume? It might just have been a crash log, which is uploaded to plex.tv after a crash occurs. This helps to alert the developers about issues in Plex and gives valuable hints where to look for the bug.

I’m not sure what you read in the logs. I am also unsure about that time window. Maybe you want to share those logs in here?

There is a Plex feature which allows downloading media to some client device types.
This is not considered a playback, so it doesn’t appear in the Now Playing section of the dashboard.

Hi OttoKerner,

good to know that the server uploads some crash logs.

I found out aufter searching in the logs, that someone syncs media - but i can´t see in the whole UI that this was a sync. Can I request some status bar at the devs?
