Hi gang! I was wondering if I could get some help troubleshooting this issue in my Plex instance.
If I am watching any TV Shows, not movies or idle, my plex process restarts itself. I have Plex running in an Unraid docker container with the latest image from plexinc/pms-docker as of April 12th, 2026. I can tell from the logs that it is the Plex process itself that is getting restarted at the 47 minute mark and not the docker container. The container stays running so this seems to be purely an issue with plex itself.
My logs don’t seem to show any errors or crashes besides this from the Plex Crash Uploader.log file:
Apr 11, 2026 17:47:11.485 [22512474479416] INFO - Crash Uploader - Platform: Linux ServerUUID: REDACTED UserId: REDACTED Version: 1.43.1.10611-1e34174b1

There doesn’t seem to be any minidump files created by the crash uploader though. It might be making them but each time I check those directories, they are empty.
The rest of the plex logs don’t seem to show any shutdown even occurring, it just stops and starts a new log file when the server restarts at the 47 minute mark.
