Hi, I'm having problems with my plex server, It just desepears from plex.tv/web with message that it is not reachable. When I do service plexmediaserever status I get PlexMediaServer (pid 31968) is running..., if try to restart the server it would say "Waiting for plex to restart" and would go like that forever...
What I have to do is kill plex service manualy than do stop/start...
I have two plex server and I have the same problem on both...
Running on CentOS 6.5, on the dedicated server in Europe, signed in plex.tv, Last version of plex, that I downgraded to the older version but still the same problem.
I have 3 servers running plex and same thing on all three of them... They would just crash and I have to do manual restart of plexmediaserver service...
Yes wired thing it usually happens from 20:00 to 22:00, in that time frame... I taught it might be because in that time I get 20-30 people watching, but that is not the problem, cuz sometime It would crash in the morning when nobody is watching ...
Well, it seems like you've added a server since the OP ... and details like sharing with "20-30 people" put this out of my wheelhouse ... too many variables with which I have zero experience :(.
As suggested before, the logs are a good place for you to start, particularly if you can pin down the times where PMS "crashed" ... otherwise, they will be a mess for anybody to decipher.
