Luke 37049 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Did you create a schedule for it? There is nothing in the server that kicks off this scheduled task. It's only there for you to run manually as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37049 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Ok I would suggest removing third party plugins and see if that has an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8277 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Not sure I follow as there is deleting path /metadata/library/xx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx items shown in that log not metadata scan. Also the task hasn't run as you do not have "Debug TaskManager: Executing Scan Metadata Folder". What does the UI show for when the task was last run?

Luke 37049 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 OK if you haven't actually seen the task running then it's probably just an issue with the Last Ran date. I've seen this once or twice before but haven't chased it down yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2493 Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 its running according to the scheduled task and dashboard also advanced media info shows up a lot. so possibly the mediainfo plugin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8277 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 @Spaceboy but from the log provided the task has not run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37049 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 OK so it is actually running. That is strange. there is nothing in the server that kicks off this task, so perhaps a plugin is doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2493 Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 right at the end of this log something happened that caused my live tv stream to stop and the server completely unresponsive and inaccessible from any client for 2-3 mins. by the time i'd logged onto the pc to look at it everything had sorted itself out. scan metadata was runnign at the same time. this has been happening on and off over the last few weeks which i why i started the thread thinking the task may be a symptom. still have a feeling its something to do with the mediainfo plugin. does the log give any clues? embyserver(10).txt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2493 Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 confirmed that the issue was the mediainfo plugin. once removed the continual scanning and freezes stop. @Cheesegeezer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of which the plugin picked up and would wait 3 mins after each item was added before running the mediainfo task and then on task complete would run a library scan to update any info if necessary Metadata Scan is only called to run once after the MediaInfo task is completed. From your log it looks like your ScripterX is performing a lot of maintenance, either removing or adding new items which triggers the MediaInfo Task to run. If you turn off the Auto run on new item added does that prevent the issue I have a new release coming out soon which actually caters for Multiversions also for TV and Movies. I think that the scripterX and mediainfo - run on new item added might be fighting each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesegeezer 3086 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I have also added an info line to the log so you can monitor if it's the plugin causing the metadata endless cycle, if it is, we can address it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you turn off the Auto run on new item added does that prevent the issue cheers, will give this a try. scripterx is kicking off comskip when a live tv recording starts. not sure if this is possible but there is nothing for the plugin to do with live tv recordings so could be excluded somehow?

But i will double check that the code is solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that someone did it with over 30000K episodes that had 3 different mediasources also and that was really quick to do (under 3hrs). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 The scan metadata folder task should not be assumed to be quick. In fact it will be slow for many users. It's also not something that needs to run on a schedule, only on-demand based on the conditions mentioned in the description text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2493 Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 since uninstalling the mediainfo plugin the continuous scanning of the metadata folder has stopped. hopefully this evening i'll be able to confirm that that stream freezing that occured with it has also stopped. I'll install the mediainfo plugin on my beta server install and see if the problems continue there and then hopefully we could look to troubleshoot it? @Cheesegeezer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably a good practice now for us 3rd Party devs to get into. which is let the user just use a scheduled task to run the plugins. Or we monitor other tasks running, and sleep our task until everything else has completed. we are just trying to help the users but seems like its back firing. can you confirm if you have the auto group plugin installed? This is causing many issues with lots of our plugins now. Might wanna look at that one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might wanna look at that one too. yes i have auto movie grouping installed - unfortunately that one is essential as my 4k movies need to be stored separately from eveything else and its too much work to manually group. as a result i've had to uninstall most of the chef/cheese plugins from my stable server to stop it locking up. i plan to try and work through all of them on a separate install though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
