Hello  
I’m posting this here cause I do not see how to make a request in forums

The new version of Plex media server released on July 24th 2023 is causing a lot of crashes on mac systems. Version 1.32.7349

There seems to be an issue with Plex transcoder within the package contents, as described in my Apple console. Please provide a fix! It’s been crashing 2-3 times a day ever since July 24th

Thank you and have a lovely day

What exact error message do you see in the console (or possibly your [server logs)?](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/)
