bmoses 9 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 After updating to the latest version i noticed my emby server logs are huge, they are getting to be almost 5 gig in size! My assumption for the size increase is i started using the auto organize plug in and with the new update it added an option to queue a library scan on completion. I think the problem is its scanning the library every time the auto organize schedule fires off, even if there is nothing to auto organize. can the plug in be updated to only queue a library scan if it actually found files to organize?

Luke 37248 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hi, have you installed any other plugins? Do you have debug logging enabled? Are you experiencing a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmoses 9 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hi, have you installed any other plugins? Do you have debug logging enabled? Are you experiencing a problem? attached is a picture of all the plug-ins i have installed. no i do not have debug logging on. no i'm not experiencing any adverse affects from this currently. I just noticed the size was huge when i went to post a thread in the roku section about live tv playback issues. I was going to attach the server log but obviously can't since its so large, nor can i open it with notepad to look through it. So i figured i better post something here in case someone wanted to look at it. as i said, i'm guessing its from all of the library scans from the auto organize feature. that task kicks off every 5 minutes and it takes 3 minutes and 30 seconds for emby to scan my library. so with that option set emby is basically scanning my library constantly. even without the log size issue i would think it would be better for that option to only kick off a scan if it actually organizes a file. if you need anything else from me let me know, thanks!

Luke 37248 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Plugins are able to write to the log so reducing the number that you have installed may help reduce the size of the log file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37248 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Auto organize will report the changes internally to the server so you don't need to forcefully schedule a scan every five minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
