Plex is one of the most famous client-server media players that enables users to stream multimedia content from one machine to another.
Over the years, the app added several features and now allows users to watch more than 200 channels for free. The Plex Media Server is the backend and supports multiple platforms including NAS devices.
Plex users are no strangers when it comes to bugs and glitches. In December last year, users reported that the Plex Media Server was crashing on QNAP NAS.
That being said, Plex Media Server users are now reporting (1,2,3,4,5) that they are getting an ‘Aw, Snap! Something went wrong while displaying this web page error code STATUS_BREAKPOINT’ error message when they try to play a video file on Chrome.
It looks like the issue surfaced after the latest Google Chrome 98 update. But soon after, peoplesaid that they were getting the error message on Edge and Safari as well.
Unfortunately, the developers are yet to acknowledge the issue where Plex Media Server is crashing for many.
Rest assured, we will be keeping an eye out on the matter and update this space when Plex developers release a fix for the issue. Until then, those affected can revert to Chrome v97 or switch to Chrome Beta.
