I run Emby Server 4.7.8.0-704070800 on a 4-disk/RAID-10 Synology NAS DS918+ (DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 1) It serves as backend to LAN clients running Kodi 19.4/Linux with Emby for Kodi Next Gen v7.9.4 plugin. Everything works as expected; zero problems serving up videos. One minor issue that I've been trying to 'solve'. If I launch a vid (either in client Kodi player, or in client browser to Emby webUI) and hit 'pause' -- so the movie's queued up to play, but not streaming -- I notice regularly repeating 4-disk access. Every few seconds, all 4 of the NAS's disk-LED's blink and I hear disk access. This will simply repeat forever, until I 'stop' the movie, rather than just 'pause' it. I turned on debug logs to take a look, and see: with access from Kodi client, ``` ... 2022-10-30 19:33:17.791 Info Server: http/1.1 POST http://‌10.0.9.18:8096/emby/Sessions/Playing/Progress?CanSeek=True&QueueableMediaTypes=Video%2CAudio&IsPaused=True&ItemId=47937&MediaSourceId=7a...d6&PositionTicks=100000000&RunTimeTicks=63149443359&VolumeLevel=100&IsMuted=False.

Something constantly polling for progress? Is this expected/normal behavior for Emby? (How) can this be disabled, or tamed?

Not sure if normal or not but i noticed my main disk (SSD) usage was at 100% came to find tham emby logs accounted for 119GB of my 250GB disk. I think it might be some form of run-away log issue? by running sudo du -hsx /var/lib/emby-server/logs/* | sort -rh | head -n 35 you can see the 35 biggest log files. here are my top 5: 116G /var/lib/emby-server/logs/server-63639475200.txt 2.9G /var/lib/emby-server/logs/server-63639388800.txt 45M /var/lib/emby-server/logs/server-63639302400.txt 35M /var/lib/emby-server/logs/server-63639216000.txt 936K /var/lib/emby-server/logs/server-63639189005.txt I've removed the files from my server now, but just incase anyone else had the issue.

hi, i'm having this problem with my emby server that when i play anything on it, localy or from other devices, it becomes really slow and unresponsive. i searched the forums for something similar but could not find anything. while trying to troubleshoot it i noticed that as soon as i start playing something the disk usage of my system rises to 100% and everything becomes slow. and as soon as i stop the playback the disk usage returns to normal: first image is normal workload (gaming, music, ...) second is when i start playback on emby and third is when i stop it. im running version 3.0.7200.0 and i get this problem in my server accessing it from any device or browser any ideas? sorry for the bad english and thanks in advance server-63610790400.txt
