rsava 2 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi there, I am running Emby (Emby Server for Mac x64, ver 3.2,60) on a Mac Mini (mid 2011) with macOS High Sierra (10.13). I am noticing that as I run Emby, more instances pop up in Activity Monitor. Last night I had trouble connecting to Emby with both a browser and the iOS app (very sluggish to show anything, just the spinner). I shut down Emby and restarted ... well, I tried to restart. It would not run so I opened Activity Monitor and found 5 more instances of Emby Server running. I force quit all of them and Emby started right up. Everything ran fine, loaded at a decent speed. Only one instance of Emby Server was running. This morning, I opened Activity Monitor again and I now have a other instance of Emby Server running. I have not noticed any slow down yet but I am wondering why another instance is running and if I will continue to get more instances until I have to restart Emby again because of slow downs. Is this something that is a known issue, never seen before or somewhere in between? I was thinking of scripting an automatic Emby restart or rebooting in the middle of the night but this machine does other things for me in the middle of the night so I would prefer to not go that route if possible. Any assistance would be appreciated. rsava Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi, do you notice a pattern to this? like for example, is it after restarting emby server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsava 2 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 I think it happens overnight. I will keep an eye on it and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsava 2 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 It definitely looks like it is overnight. I went to bed @ 22:30 (EST) and there were two instances of Emby Server in Activity Monitor. It is now 07:00 and there are three. I shut down the Server and Electron shut down but the three Emby Servers did not. I had to Force Quit them. Emby Server would not start back up until I did that. As soon as I did, Emby Server started up normally. Only Electron and Emby Server are currently running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37022 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Ok, it's restarting automatically because you installed the server restart plugin. try removing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaynemo 13 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Emby.app occasionally, but not in the past few days - weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vangeliis 8 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Sorry, but I have no plugin and still I have two instances on Mac OS X. How can I cure that? Hi, Open a terminal window and run the following command (assuming you have copied EmbyServer.app into your Applications folder) : /Applications/EmbyServer.app/Contents/MacOS/EmbyServer Leave the terminal window open. To quit Emby go to the open terminal window and hit ctrl-c. Don't be tempted to quit Emby from the menu bar icon as this does not work correctly at the moment.
