I’m running Plex on an M1 Mac mini attached to a Seagate external hard drive. It’s a wired connection, and I run it to two Apple TVs. I sometimes use Plex player and sometimes infuse when Plex is giving me a hard time.

Something it has never done, is shut down randomly. Now, I can’t get through a 45 minute episode of television without it happening. Today, I left it running when I went to work and it never shut down, so it appears that whatever error is happening is somehow only occurring when I am streaming.

Anyone experienced this and have any ideas?

Edit: the computer itself isn’t shutting down. I would have to put in my password when it restarts so I know it’s not that, plus, Plex is set to open automatically upon starting.
