Hi,
I've been having a problem where a stream will end and display an error 'unable to play media' or something to that effect. It doesn't happen all the time, and doesn't matter if it's direct play or transcoding.
Setup:
Unraid 6
Plex in a docker container (linuxserver)
/config (all plex data, etc) is on an SSD
Plex is transcoding to the SSD as well
PMS version: 0.9.16.6.1993-5089475
Here is an example of a user watching a few different things, with one of them ending half way through (the issue)
The entry with the little circle beside the date to the left is the episode experienced the issue.
To prove it isnt that individual file, I've played the file myself without issue.
The logs have very few details about the error, or why there is an error. This is about the only thing I could find (it coincides with the time the stream ended)

There is 240GB+ free space on the drive with plex and the transcode directory, so it doesn't look like that's the issue.
This has been driving me (and my users) crazy, and I'm coming here because I have no idea why this is happening.
