PMS version - 1.31.1.6733-bc0674160

With recent server updates our PMS seems to cause the Debian Linux server to lock up and become unresponsive immediately after the scheduled tasks kick off at 2am.

It happens consistently and I think I have got it down to the recent PMS update that scans for credits.

I see repeated logs of -  
MDE: video has neither a video stream nor an audio stream

and then -  
IntroDetector: Failed to get a decision for: “video file”

Immediately after this, the server locks up and becomes unresponsive. A power cycle is required to bring the server back online.

> I noticed my Linux server (Intel nuc with Debian) had been hard crashing around 2am for the past few nights. This is when my Plex scheduled tasks are set to to run. I confirmed this was the cause by adjusting the time and waiting, sure enough…hard crash and had to do a turn it off and on again reset. I downgraded to an earlier version of Plex, this resolved the problem, I will wait for an updated version before upgrading.
