I run Plex though Docker which is on my Synology, I’ve been running this since 5 years and no issue with it. Lately while watching series I get a “playback error” almost 10 times per episode which is quite frustrating.  
As request in the [reporting form](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/) here are the logs:  
[Plex Media Server Logs\_2022-12-06\_13-43-49.zip](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/gmpgBZzI2ef0lGLvhMaoifMTPEw.zip) (3.9 MB)

If you need more informations do not hesitate.  
From what I’ve read in the logs only a warning appears: “Transcode runner appears to have died.”

Server Version#: Version 1.30.0.6442  
Player Version#: Not sure where to find this.
