Plex Server Keeps Crashing

[dmueller18]

Server Version#: 1.20.3.3437
Player Version#: Android TV 8.7.2.20952

I have been noticing over the last month or so my plex server keeps crashing. Not the OS on the computer, but the plex server application. I will go to watch something and see that my server is inaccessible. I log on to my server and sure enough, I see that the application is not running. If I start it back up again, then it works fine until the next time it crashes.

I have not been able to tell for sure, but the crashes seem to coincide with something on my DVR schedule trying to record. That is when I notice it is down the most, the nights that something was scheduled to record…and nothing was recorded.

I have attached my server logs. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. There are shows I am trying to record and I keep missing them because the server didn’t record because it was down.

You wouldn’t be trying to do this…

No, I have it set for original quality. I do have the hdhomerun extend though which has a built-in transcoder, so all transcoding is done on the device and not on the server itself.
