Once or twice a week, I open Plex on my phone and my server is offline. I go to my server computer, and it’s online and PMS is running. I open the Plex app on that same computer, it gives me this error. I close PMS on my computer, reopen it, and everything starts working normally again. This has been going on for about a month

Plex server still showed as running in the system tray, not accessible from web interface or client side. @sa2000 , if it happens again how much time can elapse before I get the output from the Plex Token connections and process dump? The reason that I ask is that I am at work most of the day, and if the error happens again, I might be ho…

I have looked at the logs you sent to @BigWheel  
I can see some hung requests

```

I am going to send you an alpha build 1.28.1.6018 which has a fix for an issue that may lead to deadlocks and crashes

I will add you to a private message thread - please scroll down to see latest alpha download info for 1.28.1

If you continue to have hangs then will need to get more diagnostics which is covered in one of my posts in the message thread
