Do NOT enable “verbose” logging.

You need to stop and restart the server after making changes to the logging settings, or they won’t get observed.

@OttoKerner Thanks for the clarification. I stopped, then restarted the Plex Server on my Synology NAS, then downloaded the Logs again (see attached). I hope these logs are not Verbose, because if they are, I just don’t know why. Plex Media Server Logs_2025-05-09_17-01-58.zip (3.0 MB)

I have been experiencing this on my unRaid docker since 1.41.6.x as well. As soon as i revert back to 1.41.5.9522 everything works again. Not sure what changed with those two versions. I tried using Google’s DNS, same issue on 1.41.6.x and above.

This update has zero effect on my issue. Still unable to search or find a match for my files in multiple different libraries.
