dcpete 2 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I have a ReadyNAS 316. After I added my large music collection (245k tracks), performance in all categories, Movies, TV Shows, Music Videos slowed to a crawl. What I'm talking about is when I launch an Emby client (usually from a Shield), it becomes unresponsive for sometimes as much as 10 minutes, but always minutes instead of seconds. Once everything is populated, it seems to playback content fine. (In that regard, I never transcode anything) I also have a Desktop Windows machine running Emby Server that performs much, much better with the same content. So this is definitely an issue with the NAS box. Btw, I have upgraded my memory to 4gb on this box from the stock 2gb. I have other Netgear NAS boxes in my fleet and they all show the same problem and basically render playing music on them unusable because of startup time. I would be happy to try any suggestions you might have and/or take any logs you would like to see. But I do seem to have found an upper limit with these boxes running Emby as a server on them. Btw, before adding the music to the server, my large Movie and TV show collection was running just fine with Emby as a server on my NAS box. So it seems, the music collection overwhelmed it.

Luke 28318 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 HI there, what version of emby server are you running? The server can handle a large music collection just fine, but the initial scan could be a resource intensive process for your NAS. But once that is done there shouldn't be any problem.

dcpete 2 Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 I'm running 4.6.4.0 on that box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 28318 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Can you please attach the emby server log from when this happened? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
askog666 10 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I didn't have any performance issues running a large music collection with my video collection on the same server (running a Raspberry 4 4gb) but I have now split up Emby into 3 different servers using Docker which makes management slightly easier. It also allows me to split my music collection properly. If you can run Docker on your NAS I would give this approach a try. The added benefit is its very portable since all the configs are contained in a single folder. I reinstalled my entire system today and it only took an hour or so to put everything back to normal.

dcpete 2 Posted August 17 Author Share Posted August 17 Sorry, I've removed the music library from that box and can't easily replicate this again. But I have seen the same symptoms on 2 other Netgear boxes. Sorry about that. I meant to do some trouble-shooting for you, but got distracted. Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
