scan media slow and need a long time to get a video start playing.

Hi 

I used Macfuse and clouddrive2 to softlink movies from a netdisk, then stored these softlinks, posters and NFO data on an SSD. 

Scan the whole library takes an hour now but 10-20 seconds previously. 

I do have to wait a very short loading time for a movie on clouddrive2, but it takes about a minute on Emby, when it get ready, it would pause at 00:00 until I set another time of this movie and click the play button. but it works fine when I play the movie on clouddrive2.

i was wondering if someone could help me to solve this.

 

thank you

Hi Luke 

i scanned the library and played a movie, but i canceled them after two minutes because i need to submit this issue and export the log, these should be record.

Hi luke

this log might be helpful. 

I started playing a movie and everything was fine until I scanned my media library, it's very slow to scan NFO files and posters stored in an SSD and about 10 seconds loading to get the same movie started.

This is still a one minute log file. I don’t really see anything obvious here. Did you try increasing the server database cache size?

yes, the database cache size is 512MB now, the folder where I store softlinks and their NFO data and poster is 5GB. this mac has  8GB memory and about 120GB spare disk space. 

i wonder If you could suggest what database cache size should I adjust to?

How large is your library.db file?

98.5MB

OK then those values should be enough. Are you still seeing this occur?
