Plex Crashing Every Thursday at 7pm (Suspect a Recording Error ???)

For the past few weeks, my Plex Media server seems to crash every Thursday just before 7pm CDT. I suspect it is due to it trying to record the Big Bang Theory. I have several other show set to record, and have no issues.

I am running a DS1515+ runing DSM 6.1.6-15266.

Logs are attached.

Thanks for the logs but they don’t tell us much. You have verbose logging enabled and PMS only keeps 26 MB of Server logs by default. Verbose mode causes ~4x more output than normal and, as such, limits to only a few minutes at most per log file. Your logs were rolling over every 4 minutes on average. This doesn’t give us enough of a window to see the bigger picture.

It does report a crash report was uploaded. That will go direct to Engineering however, if they see a problem, it won’t help you now.

Would you mind turning off Verbose logging and making certain DEBUG logging is enabled?

When it fails again, We can look at it better.

My Plex Media Server just crashed again. I turned off DEBUG in the logs. The new logs are attached.

It does look like a recording event. I unfortunately can’t be of any help. The most I can suggest is to move this thread to DVR and LiveTV.

I have located a dump for the crash that occurred at 18:58 on 10th may. The crash together with the associated logs will be referred to the development team
