Same issue here as well. Been running PMS on QNAP for years without issue. Then, after the last update, wake every morning and have to restart PMS. Then it works fine until the next morning.

Same issue here on Synology. This plex server is only used for music. Iā€™ve disabled loudness analysis and hopefully itā€™ll remain running overnight. Version is 1.30.1.6497.

Plex crashes during start of daily scheduled tasks

Another morning crash for me. This has been super consistent.

Iā€™m going to try turning these two things off to see what that does. Might speed up the process.

Iā€™m 90% sure itā€™s Loudness. It certainly looks that way in my logs and then I turned it off last night and Plex made it through the night for the first time in a week or more.

Turned loudness back on last night, server dropped just as the scheduled tasks got started.

So thereā€™s your culprit.

Continues to lose connection daily like clock work.

I ended up removing my music library altogether and my server didnā€™t crash so itā€™s definitely an audio issue. Looks like itā€™s definitely the loudness analysis though.

My Windows 10 server was also crashing but it was related to the hardware acceleration setting in transcoding. Iā€™ve had that setting turned on for years and itā€™s worked great. Only with a recent update in the past week or so has it been a problem. Anytime a video was played with hardware transcode on the computer would lock up with a black screen and would have to force power off/on. I turned hardware acceleration off and now no problems. Recent update broke it. But it looks like OP might be caused by a different issue.

I have a successfully functioning server this morning! Iā€™m going to turn Analyze Sonic Features back on but leave Loudness off to confirm.

@ChuckPa, I think we found the trouble maker.

Having same issue using 1.30.1.6497 on M1 iMac. Server crashes overnight every night while performing music analysis. Downgrading to older PMS resolves the issue so itā€™s specific to this version.

Still up here after turning off Analyze audio.

Thank you so much @AmazingRando24 and @Raazer
