Server Version#: 1.25.2.5319 Player Version#: Plex Media Server Logs_2021-12-20_19-55-19.zip (4.2 MB) My Plex Media Server on my Mac Mini running macOS Monterey 12.1 shuts itself down almost every day at random. I have no idea why and the only way that I detect it is when I try to access Plex…

Thanks for your analysis and input Re: [image] FordGuy61: You have two network interfaces in the same 192.168 subnet and are bridging to two other subnets in net 10. I don’t understand what you mean by this (I have limited networking experience). I don’t recall a system crash yesterday. O…

Thanks for the info. [image] Andre_Fortier: On my router, I reserved the IP addresses mentioned above reserved for the Mac Mini. In Plex Server Settings> Network> Preferred Network Interface> was initially blank and I selected this from the drop-down list: en0 (192.168.0.145). With this change…

Here are the updated logs. I restarted my Mac Mini yesterday evening and so far the Plex server has been running without issues. It’s a bit early to tell if the situation is fully resolved however it’s looking promising so far. I turned on the Wifi on my Mac Mini and it seems like everything is r…

Thanks for the update log files. [image] Andre_Fortier: I turned on the Wifi on my Mac Mini and it seems like everything is running fine with just the ethernet connection. I updated my router setting - reserved an IP address for my Mac Mini for the ethernet MAC address and also set port forwar…

Thanks for the update. I checked my router and 192.168.0.112 is an Amazon Echo. I had powered it off yesterday. I powered it off and back on again now. I’ll send an updated log file tomorrow. If I recall correctly, I had added a ‘skill’ in Amazon Alexa for the Echo device to be able to trigger…

The skill won’t matter. It is the device responding to a query from the Plex server. It responds whether or not the skill is installed. Hopefully restarting the Echo helps. I have three and none cause Plex to log SSDP errors.

Here’s my latest log files. I watched a movie through my AppleTV> Plex app last night and finished around 10:30. Sometime between that time and 8am, the Plex server shut itself down. I had forgotten to turn on my VPN and turned it off this morning although I don’t recall exactly what time I did t…

Thanks for the log files. Plex stopped at 03:33 (last entry in Plex Media Server.1.log) and was restarted at 09:19 (beginning of Plex Media Server.log). Unfortunately, I cannot tell why Plex stopped. Everything looks OK as far as I can tell. Plex is running the nightly maintenance, updating meta…

Not helpful to resolving the issue, but I dropped Ubuntu 20.04 on my spare system with the RTX Quadro card and it is working brilliantly. I have had no issues. I am thinking that MacOS Monterey has introduced an issue as I had zero issues when I was running Big Sur. I’ll keep an eye on this thread…

I relaunched the server at 9:19 after I detected it had stopped. I wasn’t using the computer at all at 3:33 and can’t think of anything that the computer would be doing at that time that may have interfered with Plex. [Scheduled tasks] Time at which tasks start to run: 2:00 Time at which tasks…

I looked at other threads for running Plex on Monterey. Only thing I found was this post regarding Energy Saver settings.

I’ll update the thread if I come up with any new information.
