Server Version#: 1.23.6.4881  
Player Version#: 4.59.2

My Plex server keeps dying for no apparent reason.  
Am having this problem since a few updates back.  
Really thought a new Server update would do the trick.  
Have tried restarted my computer but no change.  
Any ideas?

Edit: Also, what MacOS version?

Configure your server for debug level logs (see above document).

After next crash, download the log files and attach the ZIP file to the thread. Drag the file into the message window. It will attach at the cursor location.

Someone familiar with running Plex Media Server on a Mac will be able to assist.

Big Sur 11.5 works fine for me on a 2020 iMac Retina 5K, if there no Database corruption. Can you forward if the crashes happen at a regular time of day? Example: When scheduled tasks are running or a third party app is active.

Seems to be working here now.  
Am using Mojave due to Utorrent restrictions (no 64 bit version)  
I reinstalled the latest Plex update and that seems to have done the trick.  
Thanks for your support 🙂
