Last Saturday I made the mistake of updating my Plex server to the latest version of Plex and also updating Windows to the 1909 release. Since then I would click on a channel in live TV and watch the tray icon for Plex go away while I received a playback error on the a second PC which I was using t…

You may want to check your Windows Firewall configuration on the server. I also upgraded my Windows 10 VM to 1909 this weekend. I checked just now and the firewall was enabled; I usually keep it disabled. In my case, this prevented PMS from discovering/communicating with my HDHomeRun which was pr…

Thanks, good thought. I had firewall rules in place but I stopped the firewall and there was no change in behavior. I do not think it is the firewall since I can generally connect it is only when I go to play something that it crashes. I.E. I see the Plex tray icon disappear and I get playback er…

I somehow completely missed the part about PMS actually crashing. That being the case, there are at least a couple other threads discussing this. It appears it may be caused by hardware transcoding: [image] Hardware transcoding (QuickSync) causing server crash Desktops & Laptops …

I tried removing Plex and reinstalling. While I was doing that I cleared the cache directories and I decided oh well, back to 1909 since that did not make a difference. Still crashing as soon as I play media. So, same computer, some OS and Emby works like a charm. I have been a long time Plex us…

So rolling back my intel driver to 26.20.100.7000 worked for me, and PMS no longer crashes now when Hardware Transcoding. [image] Hardware transcoding (QuickSync) causing server crash Desktops & Laptops Thanks for sending me the crash dmp file for the crash at 06:59 UTC …

I turned off hardware transcoding and I can now play videos. I upgrade the driver for my Intel HD Graphics 630 to 26.20…100.7463 (06-Nov-2019) and turned it hardware acceleration back on and the PMS crashed again. So I am running now but without hardware acceleration. I5 Processor runs at about 8…

See the post above yours… the latest intel drivers cause a crash. If you use the ones referenced above it should work.

I know, I would rather turn off hardware acceleration than have a unattended driver update get me again at some future date. So I will look for driver updates and see if it gets fixed at some point. -John

Hey all, I have seemed to stumble on this myself. I was working fine, then i updated from 1903 to 1909 amd to the latest PMS all at the same time. It works fine for 24hrs and then just stops functioning. Plex.tv , or 127.0.0.1 or app.desktop.plex via devices just doesnt work. I quit my app server …

I upgraded to 1909 back in November and have never had a problem. I did not have to change any settings. If you’re having issues, you may want to download PMS from the site, install it overtop of your existing PMS, and see if that fixes it. Doing it this way will only overwrite the core files, it…
