blade005 172 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 WebUI: Chrome 44.0.2403.107 Emby Server: 3.0.5675.1 Continuing to have library access and Metadata Manager issues. If I try to select Metadata Manager from the pull down menu in the WebUI all I get is a spinning circle and the LOADING descriptor, but the Metadata Manager menu never appears. Once this occurs the entire library becomes unresponsive. If I wait long enough, whatever is timing out may eventually release and I can get the library to become responsive again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blade005 172 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Luke, I have posted in a separate thread my issue with the library becoming inaccessible along with logs. http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/23619-intermittent-inaccessible-emby-library/ Attached is the latest log in which you will see a number of ERROR REPORTS flagged when the library becomes unresponsive. http://paste2.org/zO2pPD5w As stated in previous post, removing LIVE TV seems to have reduced the frequency of the library becoming unresponsive, but not eliminated it completely. It appears that the REFRESH GUIDE task seemed to be the culprit. It would either hang at 0% or 100% and the library would become unresponsive. Any attempt to access the Metadata Manger after removing Live TV support (ServerWMC) just gives me a spinning loading icon and then the library is unresponsive after that. It will occur if I try to access Metadata Manager from the pull down menu or if I try to EDIT an item from the Home Page.

Luke 37007 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 you're going to want to turn off the library's realtime-monitor as it appears so many file changes are happening that it's reaching a threshold and causing some instability. also, there were chapter image extractions going on during this time, which will have some noticeable cpu impact. Consider disabling that feature, or at the very least, unchecking the box that does the images as part of the library scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade005 172 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Luke, I will do both, but what I don't understand is why so many file changes are being seen. There were not any additions to the library or changes to any system paths that should trigger so much activity. This has just become an issue in the last few weeks. Puzzling.

Luke 37007 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 you have automatic updates from fanart and other providers enabled. that's going to cause lots of changes on a regular basis. maybe it's time to just take those features away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't consider that they would trigger lots of changes at any given point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37007 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 well i think if you disable all of the things previously mentioned, it will probably perform better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade005 172 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Luke, I did as you suggested. But, the issue is still with the library becoming unresponsive intermittently. I shut down the server after changes, restarted and let the library scan complete. Metadata Manger was accessible for about 20 minutes and then the next attempt gave me the spinning loading icon and an unresponsive library again. FYI... I uninstalled ServerWMC Live TV plugin a couple of days ago, but on a server restart I am still getting a REFRESH GUIDE task running even though no trigger is in the Scheduled Tasks. This will cause the library to become unresponsive as well unless manually stopped. Is there a clean up process for removing all Live TV files and settings I could follow?

Luke 37007 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 just let the guide task finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade005 172 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 just let the guide task finish. How long should I wait? Why is it needed without Live TV? It just sits there at 0% or in the past at 100% for minutes on end. No library access when it is in this state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37007 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 it will only happen once. since you've removed live tv it is removing all the live tv entries from the database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8242 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) For some reason Refresh Guide is a default task. I don't have an issue with it on my system, and I don't have live tv at all but I know everyone has different powered systems. You can create a custom task so it will no longer run if you wish. Instructions here. it will only happen once. since you've removed live tv it is removing all the live tv entries from the database. Is this something new? *The task was present in dev build also but deleting it, the task doesn't repopulate as before.

Luke, This just isn't working for me. I shut down all activities you suggested. I let the Refresh Guide task run completely. It has run a couple of times since then and locks up the library. The Metadata Manager will be available briefly after a re-start, but eventually will become unresponsive again. I don't know what is going on.

Luke 37007 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 it can't be. it's missing the server startup sequence and probably quite a bit after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade005 172 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Luke, Just shutdown server and will let it start up and begin a new log. I will see how long it runs before the next issue and will provide the complete log. I know you said to let Refresh Guide run through to clean up Live TV. I have done that, and it continues to trigger and run at start up and even during library scans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37007 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 apart from not being a full log, that most recent log looks fine from the server standpoint. so one other thing you could try is to see if the behavior is any different in another browser, or from another machine.

I will check once library scan is complete. Previously it didn't matter. When it becomes unresponsive, it was that way from Chrome, IE on same machine as Emby Server or different machines. It was also the same from Emby WMC, Emby Theater and Emby for Android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37007 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 ok, so it's not really a metadata manager issue, it's just the entire server becoming unresponsive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade005 172 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 ok, so it's not really a metadata manager issue, it's just the entire server becoming unresponsive. Correct. It can run fine for most of the day and then become unresponsive when I try to select an item from the Home Page of the WebUI. There are times when it is running just fine, but I try to access an item in the Metadata Manager and I get the Loading spinning circle, but no Metadata Manager. Once that happens, the library is unresponsive as well. From the Home Page of the WebUI, I know when it is having issues, because the MY MEDIA section won't populate and if I hover over an item in the LATEST MEDIA section, I will not get the action overlays that you should.

Luke 37007 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 no, probably not. the OS file system monitor triggers events very rapidly and certain parts along the messaging chain start to get overloaded with more traffic than they were designed to handle. this error is one reason why the library should be setup with paths and not UNC, then use path substitution to create the UNC paths. there are still other problems that can happen, but not this particular one.
