my plex media server crashes regularly and needs a restart to work again.
The server runs on Arch Linux with the latest Plex for Linux release 0.9.9.7.429-0. As client I use LG Media Link. The crash occurs sometimes quite often, sometimes not once in several days and I can't find any pattern which causes this.
I restarted the sever after the crash (as we want to continue the video).
The attached file plex.log is the relevant syslog for the plex processes.
But I have to said that I have almost the same issue :
[root@intelnuc ~]# systemctl status plexmediaserver
