Hi all,  
Plex has been fine for years then all of a sudden i’m having a problem wherby when playing any type of file it can be fine and then randomly midway through watching the player app will drop to the library screen with a message saying server has become unavailable.

The windows 11 PC i’m running it from is online and can access other internet and network resources however the plex server seemingly crashes and I have to restart the computer to get it working again. I’m running plex as a service however even when running manually, the issue is still present.

Could anyone offer advice on what might be causing this?
