shep 3 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Resolution - Addendum: Just got finished installing and configuring Zabbix. My server's been super-slow lately and I needed to figure out exactly why. What I found out was that I didn't have any swap space. At all. My server was crawling before, even doing a simple apt-get update, now it's flying! Even emby is flying. Hopefully the crashes and exit code 137 will be a thing of the past, it sure has every reason to at this rate. I suspect ffprobe needs swap space, which it didn't have, and as a result was crashing. I was thinking the wrong kind of memory. I used this as a reference to add some, which works flawlessly in Ubuntu 16.04: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-12-04 The only difference I made was to add 1 GB of swap space instead of 256MB of it. To do that, in the first step under the "Create and Enable the Swap File" header, change count=256k to count=1024k . That will give you an entire GB of space to utilize. Will report back with updates, but your "it's environmental" statement was spot-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shep 3 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Hmm, now HTTPS is significantly slower than HTTP. On the home page, it takes 6 seconds under HTTP to see an image after hitting F5, but on HTTPS, it takes 20. Not sure what's going on. server-63606089621.txt And here's the output from nginx -T in case it's relevant: nginx_config.txt Not sure why it's taking that much longer. HTTPS shouldn't be that slow, should it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep 3 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 I saw the "Restart server to apply updates" message, even though emby is fully up-to-date. Clicked it, then the next page was this: Relevant log file: server-63606089621.txt Usually the service dies and I can just restart it, but in this case, the service is still active and running. What's the fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shep 3 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Thanks for the report. Does that mean I found a bug? Or is it something with my machine that caused that new screen to show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37093 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Right now I don't see anything abnormal in your log. It's possible that the error page you saw was associated with the new server instance after restart, which is why it's not showing up the log you attached.

That was weird. I have still yet to get the Library Scan to move past 15%, no matter how long I let it sit (days even). Every other process works fine. Monitoring the logs, all I see are errors for me not having a profile picture on my server. Nothing else is even unusual. Until I can get this scan to complete, I don't know if I'll have all my files available. Do you by any chance know why my library scan never seems to complete? It seems odd that it'll jump from 0% to 15%, almost as if it remembers where it last left off, then stalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37093 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I would need to see a server log, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep 3 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 I have two for some reason. Here you go! server-63606093820.txt server-63606108773.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep 3 Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 I would need to see a server log, thanks. Any insight with the logs? It's at 15.1% now, which is as high as it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37093 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 No, it looks normal. I would just be patient and let it complete. We are working on making it faster for an upcoming release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep 3 Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 I think it was all a RAM issue. Figured out (thanks to the "top" command) that the swap was kicking in and taking up all the CPU with emby. This slowed emby down and also the hard drive calls. Just upgraded the server to 2GB of RAM and some other spec upgrades (t.micro to t.small on Amazon EC2). Will report back on how it works! I can't imagine why it wouldn't though.

shep 3 Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Boom, that was it. Library scan now completes anywhere between 45 and 90 minutes with plenty of room to spare. Been having a blast reminiscing over old pics. Definitely worth the $5 a month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
