Shield : Transcoder crashing after ~10 minutes playing

Server Version#: 1.15.6.1090
Player Version#: 3.95.2
SHIELD version#: 7.2.3(30.6.131.71) (latest test image)

Hi,

I’ve been struggling with this issue for months now.

The transcoder fails after ~10-15 minutes of playback. The playback will stop, and the loading circle will appear indefinitely, playback never picks up. I have to close the player and resume the playback manually. Disabling hardware transcoding doesn’t fix the issue.

Media is located on a Synology NAS.

Plex is not usable.

Playback stopped today May 19, 2019 10:18:40. I’ve noticed errors in the log file (Plex Media Server.log) at 10:18:20.897, the transcoder crashes.

Any insight ?
