Hi @DarinM you are not alone.

I also experienced the same thing,

I tested it on 2 servers with different emby versions,

Emby v4.8.8
 
top - 09:18:59 up  5:13,  1 user,  load average: 0.27, 0.33, 0.41
Tasks: 145 total,   1 running, 144 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
%Cpu(s):  0.5 us,  0.2 sy,  0.0 ni, 95.7 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi,  0.2 si,  3.4 st
MiB Mem :   4164.9 total,    281.9 free,   1778.1 used,   2104.9 buff/cache
MiB Swap:   2048.0 total,   2029.5 free,     18.5 used.   2102.2 avail Mem
 
 
 
Emby v4.8.10
 
top - 09:19:49 up 4:22, 1 user, load average: 15.78, 15.86, 15.43
 
Tasks: 144 total, 1 running, 143 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
 
%Cpu(s): 1.9 us, 1.6 sy, 0.0 ni, 0.0 id, 96.3 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.2 si, 0.1 st
 
MiB Mem : 11964.4 total, 152.0 free, 3791.3 used, 8021.1 buff/cache
 
MiB Swap: 0.0 total, 0.0 free, 0.0 used. 7842.2 avail Mem



There seems to be a problem in version 4.8.10

causing very high iowait up to 99, load average 15.* Continuously,

I did a test by scanning the media library,

When both finished scanning,

Emby version v4.8.8 showed very normal TOP activity

However, emby version v4.8.10 showed abnormal TOP activity, causing high iowait, and increasing load average,

Seems like the issue lies with the Emby read session.

When Emby fails to read a media file, it does not terminate the read session but instead waits until the file becomes available on the disk.

This becomes problematic because the file I use comes from the cloud; if that file hits its API call limit, then the file will never be available on the disk.

It seems that this issue needs to be discussed further. @Carlo

Hi @Wane2506let's look at a specific example:
