Stash suddenly stopped playing videos. I’m able get to the Scenes page and see my library, however clicking into any video and playing it results in a white “X” on the video player. This isn’t happening on just one or a couple videos, but any video I attempt to play in my library. I have not changed the path for any of my video files and I’m not sure which action I can take in Settings to fix this. Also tried restarting my browser and ejecting/plugging back in my external hard drive (where all video files are stored).
In the Logs, I have some warnings and errors:
Warning

Any idea as to what’s causing this and what steps I can take to fix this? LMK if there’s any other info I can provide.
