pclausen 41 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 5781.4 still showing up as the latest version under available plugins. Should I obtain the beta via an alternate source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclausen 41 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Ah I see. I misread ebr's response and thought the reference was to the latest beta of Emby server with the db changes. Installed CA 4.0.9.5 Beta and unfortunately it made no difference. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclausen 41 Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Hey ebr, I copied that dll file to the plugin directory and restarted the whole Emby plugin. When it came back up, it immediately told me there was a new version of CA (4.0.9.6), so I let it install it and then restarted again. Unfortunately it made no difference as far as the issue I'm experiencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untoten 296 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I experienced the same thing, CA killing performance, is all the data being loaded into RAM when it's being processed? It would make sense how after 2000 large data items it bogs down, with the 32 bit app memory limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swynol 375 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) any news on this? its getting worse. if i want to browse to a TV episode from Emby Theatre home screen it can take a few mins before i can find and play the file. if i remove coverart it takes seconds. how is covertart applied, does it take a copy of the poster apply its treatment then re save it as a cached file? can it not save it as an alternative poster in the folder with the rest of the images?

ebr 14929 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The issue is not in creating the treatments as that is cached and only done when needed. What version of the server and CA do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8296 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) There has to be something system related, as I mentioned previously having 2 server and this only happens on one of them. ET won't open "all movies" at all or take over 30 second it they do open on the system that has the delay. And removing CA opens all within seconds. 4.0.9.8 Edited January 11, 2016 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swynol 375 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 i'm currently installing emby server afresh on my test system. will see if that has the same error. running server Version 3.0.5806.0 coverart - 4.0.9.8 but its been happening for a while about a year maybe. for now i've removed coverart off my main system to make it more usable. when the images are cached cant they be saved locally in the media folders as then it should be instant like it is with coverart removed. does it re-treat each poster after exiting emby theatre and reloading it as thats when its the slowest.

ebr 14929 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 If you configure all your Collection and Folder treatments to "ignore" does it make a difference? when the images are cached cant they be saved locally in the media folders as then it should be instant like it is with coverart removed. does it re-treat each poster after exiting emby theatre and reloading it as thats when its the slowest. CA isn't being invoked at all to treat images when this problem occurs so it has nothing to do with the actual image access. I'm pretty sure it is related to the logic that is required in order to know if something needs to be re-treated but I thought I mitigated that issue with the last release so I'm a bit lost as to the exact issue now.

pclausen 41 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm in the process of standing up a new server using all the hardware in my sig, except the LSI HBAs and current hard disks are being replaced with an Areca 1882 coupled with 12 6TB WD Red drives. It will have a clean install of Windows 10 64-bit. If that doesn't make a different, I don't know what will. Btw, I'm still having the issue on my temp FreeNAS server, which runs a Z87 mobo with a 4690K CPU and 16 GB RAM, and all the LSI controllers and drives from the old system. So for me at least, this does not appear to be system related. It will be interesting to see how it performs in a bare metal Windows install with all storage 100% local.

Swynol 375 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 setting CA to ignore speeds it up considerably but still not quite as fast as having CA uninstalled. could internet speeds have any bearing on it, i live in a remote area with rubbish speeds.

Swynol 375 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 my server is similar to your old system however running win7 x64 with a lsi sas controller. all me media is local plus i run ET on it so it shouldnt be pulling any data over the network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14929 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 setting CA to ignore speeds it up considerably but still not quite as fast as having CA uninstalled. You set everything to ignore or just Collections/Folders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swynol 375 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I set everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swynol 375 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) setting it to just ignore the stuff in this screen shot has made a good improvement. so now its treating my media (movies, blu ray, tv, and 3d) as normal. the first time loading each section on ET was alot quicker, still not as quick as with out CA installed. once all the images were cached it was fine. however every time i close ET and reload it has to re-cache all the images. i notice its at its slowest when going into a TV Season, when trying to cache all the episode images. can take about 30 seconds to a min to load around 15 - 20 episode images.

Swynol 375 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) i should also mention that I see very little to no slow down on the Web Client or any other clients except for ET. would having my cache path set as a network share rather than local cause any performance issues?

ebr 14929 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 i should also mention that I see very little to no slow down on the Web Client or any other clients except for ET. Then it is likely you are experiencing some other issue. would having my cache path set as a network share rather than local cause any performance issues? Certainly could as the difference in latency in accessing a network share vs, say, a local SSD would be pretty large. Not sure that's what you are dealing with here though.

pclausen 41 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 As the OP, I'm happy to report that with the latest beta version of Emby server, which performed a data base update as part of the process, completely solved the issue with the slowness. Everything is lighting fast now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear it, although, it's really only the beginning as most of the system isn't fully taking advantage of it yet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
