Hi I have Emby running on an Asusstor AS-304T (just migrated 1.5TB of SD movies/TV series that were in an emby server on a windows machine.) Its a small collection - 230 movies, maybe 20 series. Unfortunately, Everything that queries the server runs like molasses... Web access to browse the library takes 10 seconds just to show the suggestions page with NO suggenstions and 3 of my recently played movies. Clicking on 'movies' getting out of the suggestions page takes 40 seconds to display the list of 1-100 of 230 movies! Then it takes an additional 2-3 seconds for the images to load. Looking at this in the Android app, or Tizen TV app is similarly incomprehensibly slow.... *I highly doubt this is a processing power problem - as I have monitored the performance of the NAS - and here is no meaningful network activity, top says the mono process is taking up 1-20% of one (of four) processors... and top is the next heaviest load on the processors! and there appears to be ram to spare.. It sort of feels like something is timing out (long delay, no processing power) and is then failing and then continuing to generate file lists.. and that these lists are being cashed - because sometimes subsequent visits to the movies page are instantaneous - (eg: after a minute of waiting painfully for all 3 pages of movies to load - I can page forward/backward without any delays.) Same thing happens for TV series - I have to wait for the lists - but browsing to a specific series is fast, then going back/forth to a pregenerated list is fast.... I also notice that, while the whole thing is completely unusable - when I have tried to wait to eventually navigate and play videos: 1. None of the series show any SEASONS 2. None of the videos play in Emby Android/Tizen apps. (Bank screen) I have resorted to using Emby for Kodi, which at least sync's the database and provides a fast interface - but I would really prefer to just use Emby! I'm a lifetime supported because I loved the apps... NB: I can play all videos in Kodi, and see seasons! Any advice on troubleshooting this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! X
