Since new update plex buffers or crashes

Suggestion: Before falling back, try to find out why Plex is crashing.

  1. Make sure the Plex server is set for debug, not verbose, logging.
    SettingsServer_Name → General
    Check the box for Enable Plex Media Server debug logging.
    Uncheck the box for Enable Plex Media Server verbose logging.
    Save Changes

  2. After next crash, restart Plex Media Server

  3. Wait 5 minutes for Plex to start and stabilize
    (important to capture startup sequence after crash)

  4. Download log files and post entire ZIP file to the thread
    Settings → Troubleshooting → Download Logs


You can fall back by installing the older version of Plex Media Server. Do not go back further than 1.25.4.5487 due to database changes.
