Thanks for opening your first issue here! Be sure to follow the relevant issue templates, or risk having this issue marked as invalid.
The libusb error isn't something to worry about.
You need to look at the actual Plex console logs (or tail the Plex log file in/config) to see what's happening.I'm a heavy roku user with Plex and do not have this issue.
Correct, the libusb is for it not finding a usb TV tuner, I use it as a flag for when the server is ready.
Yeah, I don't know why it's happening. I had PLEX on a Windows mini PC before this and PLEX ROKU worked just fine.
The Logs directly has "Plex Crash Uploader.log" files but when I go to the crash reports directory, the folders are empty.
In the "Plex Media Server #.log" there's nothing stating any sort of issue. It just creates a new log and a Plex Crash Uploader.log every time I open the ROKU PLEX app
I think you need to report this to plex, it might be a bug they've introduced.

You're right. I rolled back 3 versions and everything works perfectly. I hadn't actually used PLEX yet as I was in the process of setting up my server. For some reason 1.43.1.10576-06378bdcd-ls300 crashes the internal PMS and restarts it when I load my ROKU PLEX app. Utterly bizzare. Thanks for your help. I'd consider this closed.
