The errors you pasted above caught my eye a year or two ago when they started appearing, and after a couple of us bug reported it, we got a testy response along the lines of, is it actually causing a problem? so cosmetic.
You on the other hand, have significant log filling errors with this episode. Replace it.

Yes I would also find a recently corrupted video file surprising.
So I doubt your file was modified, but the software from Plex has been changing.
I’ve had RAM go bad, and that could always be possibility if this continues, among other things. My RAM in my NAS would work well enough until I copied a large FLAC album. Then some files wouldn’t pass verification afterwards. Without hashes that would have been hard to notice.
It’s setup to record OTA from HDHR4K all episodes. Is there any reason why Plex would record multiple of the same episode. I had a similar issue many months back which you helped me solve as well. There were multiple files of the same episode and it was the thumbnail generation causing the issue. I’ll delete the offending file to see if it’s resolved.
So it crashed again this morning – this time with a Three Stooges TV recording
All of these crashes have been on files that are at least a year old. While the file is indeed corrupted, Plex should offer better error handling rather than just crashing out.
Looks like it crashed again due to another corrupted file. Source is the same issue with the commercial scanner. Did something change with this latest version? I’m unsure why these files, which are corrupted, are suddently causing PMS to crash. They’ve been on my system of over a year.
That’s interesting info. I just recently noticed that all my recordings since I installed 1.30.0 (Windows 32-bit) still have all their commercials in them. No crashes, just commercials. I today rolled back to 1.29.2.6364, so we’ll see what tonight’s recordings do.
Sure enough, after the rollback, commercial skipping started working again. So it certainly sounds like the upgraded FFMPEG needed to be regression tested a bit more. Perils of installing Plex Pass releases, I suppose.
I had another crash last night due to another corrupted file. Given the amount of recorded TV shows I have, this may take a long time for me to weed out all the corrupted files. Aptly, it’s another 3 Stooges TV show.
I just updated to the latest version (1.30.0.6406). If I get another crash, I’m going to revert to 1.29 as P2 is none too happy right now.
Perhaps I’ve now expunged all corrupted video files or perhaps the new version solved the issue. Either way, for the first time in over a week I woke up to PMS still running. P2 is now happy again.
