Plex Server keeps shutting down

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Server Version#:1.14.1.5488 on Mac OS 10.13.6 (High Sierra)
Player Version#: any

the PMS on my mac-mini keeps shutting down. If I relaunch the application, all seems to work fine, but within a day, the PMS will not be running any longer.

Looking at the threads I tried the following, nothing has helped:

  1. turned off Time Machine – backups are not running any longer
  2. I also disabled Chrono Sync – was using that to make copy to NAS of files
  3. Disabled commercial skip for DVR function (I thought it might be related to when it is recording)
  4. Made sure that wired ethernet is only active connection, wifi is off
  5. Made sure I am running the latest PMS.

I’m not sure how to find/upload logs that maybe could give more information. (edit: I found how to d/l and have attached)

Thanks in advance

Hi,
i would looking at the following:

  1. Hardware Test
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257
  2. If possible update Mac Mini to Mojave 10.14.2
  3. Reset SMC

  4. Reset NVRAM
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063
  5. If possible look at RAM, take a stick out and or try different Dim slots
  6. Check your Mac Mini logs in Library/Logs/Diagnostic reports.
    (Holding down the option key you will find the hidden Library in the top Menu bar “GO” scroll down to Library).
    Worse come to worse it could be a Logic board, no fun there. Good luck.
