That just lists over and over again. It seems users Authenticate between those lines, then those lines just repeat, until a restart is done on the PMS server.

I have it running as a service. Anything else you need, as i have an hour worth of bad stuff in the log on when it was “crashed”.

Same.

it crashed 2 times today.
Do you get the 503 Error, as well ?

It thinks and thinks and thinks on the web interface, and eventually goes to a 503 error. (By local IP address of course.)

I’ve also got.

Version 1.13.8.5395

hmm.
I’m going to go try to watch another movie,
i’ll check back later if it crashes again.

I’ve got the same issues. It does this once a day now. It requires me to go into task manager and end the task before I can restart the server to functioning. It seems like these have been an issue in the past based on google searches, but I’m unsure of how to fix it now.
