Alright, so I've been dealing with the server crashing ever since upgrading to 10.11.x.
I finally had enough of it so I wiped my entire install out and reinstalled the latest version, 10.11.4. I'm going on 2 days now of no crashing overnight. That's with movies, shows and music libraries all added in.
The curious part though is that when I set it all back up I accidentally added the wrong folders to my movies and shows libraries so I had to delete those and add them with the correct folder. The music library was still in tact. So when I went to add the new movies and shows libraries back in with the correct folder, both times it crashed the server with the fresh scan. To get them to work, I had to manually tell it to scan both the movies and shows libraries without doing a complete system scan. And it worked.
So I don't know exactly what is going on, but it does seem to be making it through the nightly scan just fine. For now, at least.
I will say that I haven't tried adding any new plugins back in, yet. I'll probably take a look at doing that soon.
