Server Version#:4.108 Player Version#: Hi - I am not sure why my plex keeps crashing. I’ve had plex for years and this started to happen in the last month. I’ve now restored my mac so it was a clean slate. It still crashed so I fully deleted the plex server and then remapped my drives. Its still c…

So it was a fresh install of server or you restored a time machine back up?

This was a fresh reinstall of the system. Wiped out all old applications. Only have Chrome, VLC, Transmission, Plex, TeamViewer installed (outside of the regular mac apps)

In the server logs before the crash can you tell what it was doing?

I had two remote users streaming. I dont know how to read the server logs

And the crash logs just state the time of the crash and that they were processed and then the folder they were in. Which I went to and those folders are empty? I showed all hidden files and it was still empty

I’m going to need to ask someone who has access if they uploaded properly. it is late here and I might not find out til tomorrow. can you message me the line in the logs that show it uploading. ( click on my username to message)

Can you check in here /var/folders/6f/x0zr9gk567l2q_29dl8ppfq80000gn/T/ You will need to use the Go menu in Finder and choose Go To Folder

I don’t see anything related to plex under the T folder. But under C theres the com.plexapp.plexmediaserver and then a subfolder named com.apple.metalfe…but that folder is empty

there should be .dmp files. The system itself may delete them periodically.

My Mac server is also crashing lately. Also running on a MacMini, but it seems to only crash when playback finishes.
