Server Version#: Version 1.25.0.5282  
Player Version#:  
With no reason, my windows notebook that use to watch my movies, goes up to 98% or 100% cpu usage.  
While inspecting with Task Manager I find this services goes bezerk.  
Plex Media Server DLNA Service (plex dlna server .exe)

My usage is pretty simple. I stream to a chromecast on a TV. watch the movie and quit plex on the notebook.

The service in question goes CPU hungry for no reason since I am not watching, transcoding, processing or downloading any movies when it happens.

Attached are my system logs.
