I have the exact same problem going on. I’m on Mojave and can’t even get PMS to start, even on the new public release 1.13.9.5456-ecd600442.When I try to open the app, the icon appears briefly in the taskbar, and vanishes.
Checking the console app reveals these messages for Plex Media Server (I’ve copy/pasted the details here), please let me know if there’s a better way to help diagnose the issues.

For the record, I have not been successfully able to use Plex Media Server in a couple of weeks. This issue started on High Sierra a few weeks ago (logged here: Need help troubleshooting Plex Media Server causing MacOS to crash during nightly maintenance). I’ve since completely wiped my system, reinstalled Mac OS, reinstalled the latest PMS, and started a library anew, and everything seemed to be working fine until I started syncing music with my mobile device. It seems that any transcoding caused the app to fail, causing a kernel panic and forcing my entire computer to crash. Now, I can’t even get PMS to open, period.
