Even since the 4/29/21 update, I’ve had multiple dialog boxes on my Windows Plex Server PC pop up in the morning. I have to close over a dozen of them. All say the Plex Media Fingerprinter.exe service crashed. I’m not sure which log to look in to find the cause. However… When I run it manually …

I loaded a new copy of Plex Media Server in a VM and the file runs without issue. But it doesn’t have the dll file anywhere either, so it must be in another update or something. I’m not sure where to go now. It might be a Visual C++ update.

I think I have the exact same issue as well. PeekNamedPipe failed: 0x6d when detecting intros - Plex Media Server - Plex Forum I didn’t get the pop-up but clearly from the logs this is the exec that is crashing. And when manually executing it I get the same error as you. [image] [image] There…

I just restored to a backup from 2 weeks ago and the program runs now from the CLI. I’m doing updates slowly to see if it breaks. As of right now, all OS and other various updates are done EXCEPT the latest Plex update. I’m going to do another backup but will have to test the Plex update later th…

I have the exact same issue and error. It started after 1.23.0.4438 Update 1.23.0.4459 came out 4/30 but that did not fix it. MS 2021-04 Security Monthly Update was run on 4/23 and the system rebooted so it ran without issue from 4/23 to 4/29. It must be something in 4438 (for me) I tried to re…

When you did a restore, was the version or size different from the current fingerprint.exe? As near as I can tell, this is not a missing dll but a c++ compile error when standard c++ lib is not referenced or included within the compile. I believe fingerprint.exe is bad from version .4438

I think at this point I won’t upgrade and pass on the next couple updates. The devs should surely notice this eventually. I’m surprised there aren’t more complaints.

I am also having the issue. For now renamed the ‘broken’ .exe and restored the prior version from my incremental backup. The errors are gone, using the .exe dated 4/19/2021 The latest (broken) ‘fingerprinter’ .exe dated 4/29/2021 is 102KB, on all my backups going as far back to to November 2020 th…
