I've noticed that the Plex service always stops on Friday. Are there more people having this issue?

Probably a Safari update!
For Plex, years ago I implemented my own service watcher because any time it updated, it would not restart automatically. In cron.hourly I have a file with:
But is has not logged anything in my current logs.#!/bin/bash
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# A simple service watcher cut down from /usr/clearos/apps/base/deploy/servicewatch
#
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DAEMONS="plexmediaserver"
LOGGER="/usr/bin/logger -p local6.notice -t servicewatch-njh"
for DAEMON in $DAEMONS; do
IS_ENABLED=`systemctl is-enabled $DAEMON 2>/dev/null | grep enabled`
if [ -n "$IS_ENABLED" ]; then
systemctl is-active $DAEMON --quiet
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
systemctl start $DAEMON
$LOGGER "restarting $DAEMON"
fi
fi
done
IIRC you subscribe to Plex. Do you get regular app updates from them? If so, they could be causing the stoppage. -

Every week around Friday Plex Media Server is in stopped state when I come home from work. I think your right about the updates causing Plex to stop. A bit strange it not auto start after the update. I have a lifetime subscription on Plex. I have it for a long time. I purchased it when it was still cheap.
