Plex client crashing a few times per day

Server Version#: 1.40.0.7775 (64-bit)
Player Version#: Not really applicable here

Hi everyone, I’m going crazy with Plex. I’ve been running Plex for years, and within the last couple of months, Plex crashes a few times per day. I haven’t made any hardware changes, and I can’t figure out what might be causing it. I’ve looked at logs, but I’ve realized I don’t have a good idea of what I’m looking for.

Plex is on Windows 10, with a dual Xeon CPU, plenty of RAM, an Nvidia Quadro P2000 card. Nothing is stressed when the shutdown occurs. CPU and RAM are barely breaking a sweat, everything is normal. I normally have 4-8 users on the system remotely, and myself locally. I have gigabit symmetrical, so I’m not hitting any bandwidth limits either.

I am on the Plex beta channel and currently running version 1.40.0.7775, with the 64-bit build.

My latest log files are here, a few minutes after the last crash. I see a lot of “slow queries” and something about a webos client, but I can’t figure out what’s going on to solve it. I turned debug on, and also did the regedit for memory logging just in case. Plex Media Server Logs_2024-01-29_19-39-28.zip - Google Drive

I have the same issue with my server running on a NAS Synology. Those issues started around last December. Before that, I never had this problem in the last year.

This thread is about the same issue Plex Server keeps crashing - #47 by glassbase

This is still occurring daily. It’s super frustrating.

I"m seeing some entries like this around the time it happens, too.
