Running Windows Server 2016
I’ve been recently (2 months ago) started to have increasing amount of problems with plex transcoder crashing. Sometimes, this even crashes the server, giving it a hard restart.
This is the third crash in this specific movie (this crash is after 1h 16min played). I had a crash after 1h 14min played. I took a 5min sample and added it to a library but could not crash in the same spot (ca 4min into the sample).
I can PM the link to the movie sample if you wish to download (made with MKVToolNix).
When the server crashes completely there’s not much info apart from a minidump. Here’s from when the server crashed 1h14min into the movie 072319-19734-01.rar (148.5 KB)
Hello, Thank you for your time and the tip. I’ve downloaded ffmpeg and have run the command line you suggested on both the sample file and the entire file - with no error message in return.
I’d just like to state that I’ve been trying to resolve the crashes for a long time now and nothing works. Nothing indicates it’s problems with the MKV’s.
I’ve now reverted back to an older version of Plex Media Server 1.9.3.4290-9798172d4 and now Plex is working flawlessly again without crashing the server.
I could probably how installed a later version because these crashes started happening around May this year - but just happy that I now have a working server again.
Yes it was after upgrading to latest version (now with the latest changes to transcoding) that I felt a fix was nowhere near in sight. So reverted back.
