Hello!

I have Plex Media Server installed on CentOS 7 x64. It is working perfectly!

But, there is 1 problem. There is a problem with electricity, the light periodically goes out and the server turns off. When electricity appears, the server turns on, but the plex settings are reset. It is not possible to reconfigure the server - the settings are applied but do not work. Only reinstallation helps.

Are there any settings to tweak? Do not offer UPS, please.

I don’t believe there are any settings that can be adjusted to resolve this.

You might also want to see if the settings are lost when the system is rebooted or when the Plex service is restarted,

I have a similar issue: [Bug report - Server restart resets Transcoding parameters](https://forums.plex.tv/t/bug-report-server-restart-resets-transcoding-parameters/741445)
