Server Version#: v1.42.2.10156-f737b826c  
Player Version#: 4.156.0  
Linux version: 20.04.6 LTS (Focal Fossa)  
Processor: 4-core Intel(R) Core™ i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz

My plexmediaserver is spamming the Plex Media Server.log with this error. I also noticed my plexmediaserver is constantly using 140% CPU even when nothing is playing and when it’s just started up. I’m guessing it might be related to the log getting spammed.

Thanks for any help.
