I am posting this in the threads relating to the crashes when hardware acceleration is enabled
There may be several causes for the crashes
I would like any one getting the crashes and running Plex Media Server as a service or scheduled task or via RDP / Headless to stop doing that so we can concentrate on any new crashes. The issue with crashes in the intel driver when running headless / as service goes back over a year
With regards to recent crashes - we have one crash that appears to have come in between version 1.18.0.1944-f2cae8d6b and version 1.18.1.1966-10fc2f8d3. These are the crashes that manifest themselves in the server logs with this logged error before crashing
ERROR - [FFMPEG] - Error setting child device handle: -xxx where xxx is a number that varies
We have another crash that I am trying to establish when it started or see if it is an intel driver issue
I have feedback from the development team that there is a suspected intel driver bug on Apollo Lake systems
And we have the RDP/Service/headless issue - which we should eliminate by not running in this mode whilst trying to find the cause of the recent crashes
