Plex Server Crashing - Where to look?

Server Version#: v1.25.3.5409-f11334058
Player Version#: Apple TV latest, Shield Plex app latest

Plex is on Windows Server 2019. Plex is crashing occasionally and I see it is automatically submitting the crash report to plex. When I examine the logs I see no smoking gun. I also don’t see an app crash in event logs. What is the best method to isolate reason for crash? Server isn’t running as a service - just logging into the system and manually running PMS.

Skip

I’m also see issues when people use an AppleTV and my server transcodes to them. I made a post about a month ago, still no reply.

Your crash log shows an upload at 3:16:08. Everything below is happening around then.

Are you running a proxy, vpn or anything that would interfere with localhost addresses on your server?

Not trying to hijack some elses thread… but the only other thing running on my plex box are docker and one Pi-hole container. I’ve had the sever like this for at least a year and only noticed problems in the last 2 months.

I do think something is wrong with those files. The only errors I see from 915PM CT (this is when it crashed while I was at my desk) are:
