Seriously? Brand new laptop, NOTHING else running or installed, no issues, I install Plex without setting up and TV/MOVIES/ETC playlists, and DLNA service is at 100% CPU, Windows but it has also happened on Linux. My backup laptop (Linux) also has the same issues with 100% CPU, along with a million other users complaining about it. Its fine, we dont have to argue, this is 100% Plex bug but we can agree to disagree. I stop Plex, exit it, CPU issues are gone. I am a senior system engineer (20+ years and been a developer since DOS), I write my own Android/Linux.kernels, it still happens, it is not Windows or Linux related, I have proven it down to Plex by ONLY installing OS, Plex, either Windows or Linux, doesnt matter.
Those are 3 just from a quick google search, yes every installation is different but there is a real issue with Plex x32 on x64 OS’s whether or not Plex wishes to acknowledge this or not is on them. Just for the fun of the argument, heres a few more:
We can continue to blame the end-users devices OR we can step back, and maybe realize there is an actual issue with Plex. Again DONT GET ME WRONG, I LOVE PLEX, but I also pay for the service so I expect it to work when I want it to work and not crash my laptop when I am not using it.
