Plex in container deadlocks OMV server on both wired and wireless

  • Hi, 90% of the time, local media playback on Plex works fine on my OMV server, but then it'll freeze and "deadlock" the server to the point where I can even ping its local IP address any more. It's not a long downtime (10-20sec) but it's annoying.


    I noticed a bunch of messages in the daemon logs around the time where it last happened:


    systemd-resolved[644]: Using degraded feature set UDP instead of UDP+EDNS0 for DNS server 1.1.1.1.


    Does that provide a clue? The other thing I'd mention is that I've configured the box with a static IPv4 address and DNS server (obviously) directly in the OMV GUI.


    let me know if I can provide any other log information or anything else, as well, as this issue has been stumping me for awhile. Thanks in advance!

  • What does the Plex application log say?

    A backup strategy is worthless unless you have a verified to work by testing restore strategy.

  • No ideas. You may want to ask in the Plex User Forum.

  • This is a weird issue for sure.


    I have docket Plex on n100 minipc for 2 years. Multistream, Direct play, software and gpu transcode no issues.


    Before minipc I had same setup on a rpi and worked fine.


    Not sure how to help.


    Do you have issues with anything else crashing server?


    What about the media you are playing? What are the deets?

    OMV 8 (latest) on N100 minipc (16GB) and rpi5 (8GB). OS on SSD/SD. System ext4 on SSD. Data BTRFS on HDDs
