dbowles1975 25 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) I used to have this issue when I ran Emby as service. I run it at start up now and I haven't had this issue since. I also noticed that memory usage would creep up the longer the server had been running so I do a scheduled restart (just the server application, not the PC itself) every morning at 4:00AM just in case. Memory usage stays in the 200MB-300MB range even during heavy use. I don't use any DLNA features. Edited July 23, 2017 by dbowles1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnheinz 17 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Rebooting daily should be totally unnecessary for the record. That is what IT people do to mitigate problems that there are no solutions for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnheinz 17 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I caught the Emby Server process consuming almost 3GB of RAM. It has been approximately 96 hours since the last reboot. Should I post 4 days worth of server logs? This is with DLNA disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnheinz 17 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) Here's my server logs dating back to the last reboot on Thursday evening at 9PM. The small log beginning 15 minutes ago is after the most recent reboot. Let me know what you would like for me to try. @@Luke , I had debug logging on too.. or should have, I believe.

Luke 37059 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Ok please try removing the Statistics, Kodi Sync and Autoboxset plugins and see if that has an impact. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnheinz 17 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Ok please try removing the Statistics, Kodi Sync and Autoboxset plugins and see if that has an impact. Thanks. Will do. For the record, I've had Kodi Sync & Autoboxset for quite awhile. Statistics is relatively new, installed maybe 2 months ago. I will remove all 3 & reboot this evening.

Luke 37059 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Probably trakt too. I can see some areas for improvement in the plugin. I will do a couple of the quick ones but hopefully a contributor will come forward and spend a bit more time with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37059 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 And also update to the latest version of Emby Server, because i see you're still on 3.2.24 and hadn't updated to 3.2.25 yet. There is now 3.2.26. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnheinz 17 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Removed all discussed plug-ins, including trakt. Updated to 3.2.26. Sent for a reboot. I'll check back in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untoten 296 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) I disabled DLNA, did not resolve the issue, I will update to .26 and provide an update in a few days. @@Luke, I cannot upload my logs, as they are 9gb which makes them 1 - unredactable and 2 - I doubt this forum allows 9gb file uploads, so again, something out of my control. I have now made an FR to control log size, which will probably be 'monitored'.}https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/49336-fr-control-log-size/ Edited July 24, 2017 by Untoten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrish 18 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) I finally had to resort to creating a scheduled task to shut down the Emby service, wait 5 minutes (since it takes a few minutes for the Emby service to actually shut down once you tell it to shut down), then restart the service. I have that task set to run every day at 8am. Definitely not a fix- just a work around. Edited July 25, 2017 by parrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnheinz 17 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Day 1.5 (36 hours since changes & last reboot) .. DLNA disabled, removed trakt, Emby Sync, AutoBoxSet & Statistics plugins. Updated to 3.2.26 & rebooted @ 7/23 @ 10PM CST. Starting to creep upward towards a half gig. I don't think it's done any actual transcoding, just a few direct play through HTTP I believe. Will update tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnheinz 17 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) I have created a data collector set in Performance Monitor to log the Private Bytes of the Emby Server process every 15 seconds to aid in long-term visualization.

dbowles1975 25 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Rebooting daily should be totally unnecessary for the record. That is what IT people do to mitigate problems that there are no solutions for. It absolutely should be. But when Emby acts like there's no issue you have to do what you have to do. This has worked for me so far. If I see a resolution to this issue posted somewhere I'll reconsider my approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
