Plex Transcoder crashing during nightly maintenance

Server Version#: 1.32.5.7349
Player Version#:
Hi there.

My server transcoder seems to be crashing at night, during the maintenance window.

I have a ips crash file from the Transcoder. See contents below.

Any ideas on what the issue could be ?

Firstly I would be updating your Plex server and you also have a MacOS update that you could try.

Thanks for the response. There is no OS update available, and server was running latest public release.

Have switched to Beta track, and got the update.

Let’s see if that solves it.

Thanks!
