Gronda 1 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hi @@solabc16, Watched a film last night and this morning ram use is sitting at 770-860 mb whilst idle. It doesn't really seem to have dropped much since the film finished a little over 12 hours ago but it also doesn't seem to be increasing the way it used to. I've just deleted the scheduled task for organise media in a last-ditch attempt to remove whatever is triggering the constant library scans, which looks like it might've worked and if so then from there I'm hoping to see more of a steady-state in ram use.

Gronda 1 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hi @@solabc16, It's workable and from last night had no trouble serving an HD file for us to watch. It is quite a bit higher than the 230mb it usually sits around when the server first starts but as with others in this thread, the problem was the constantly growing footprint so provided it stays at a stable point I think it might be nailed. On the upside, removing the 0.08333333333333 scheduled task for organising media seems to have stopped the incessant library scans but it looks like that was the trigger used by auto organise to pickup new files in a watch folder.

Gronda 1 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 @@solabc16, As Luke says, by removing the scheduled task it seems I have to run it manually. I've created a new organise media task every 15 mins (the quickest I can set manually) and this seems to work reasonably well and only triggers a media scan library once there is something new in one of the folders to organise. It also gives plenty of time for any consequent library scan to run and I wonder if this is part of issue. When I run a library scan the RAM use increases - could it be that because this task (as set to 0.083333...) ran so frequently and then triggered a library scan when there were media in the folder to sort that these were somehow "stacking up" and eating the RAM?

solabc16 379 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Thanks for the update @@erikblues, appreciated. @@Gronda - the piece I guess I'm missing in my understanding is whether this scheduled task is installed as part of the plugin installation. You said you deleted the task, then removed the plugin entirely and installed it again - at which point no scheduled tasks were created? The library scan should not run concurrently - i.e. only one scan should ever be active. I would expect an increase in memory whilst the scan ran, but I would also expect this is decrease on completion of the scan. If the memory can be demonstrated to continually increase with every run of the scan, then that's a reasonably clear sign that there's a resource leak to be addressed.

I've just been through the uninstall / reinstall of the plugin again after deleting the manually created task and rebooting the server between steps. The "Organize new media files" entry remains without any tasks created. Given that it is remembering my settings between removal and reinstall I don't know whether there is anything stored to block it from creating the scheduled task if it's previously been deleted. On overall performance, after a couple of days left to run and with standard evening use of watching a couple of episodes of something, yesterday evening it was up to 1.1gb when idle and today before the reboots for the plugin it was at 1.17gb so something is still causing a gradual increase albeit much slower than before. I'll leave the organise media task without any schedule and see what happens over the next few days. Yesterday whilst testing whether library scans had any impact I ran three scans in succession - each time the memory use increased and then after the scan was done dropped back to where it had been before the scan (started at 1.1gb, hit a peak of 1.9gb and then back to 1.1gb by the end). There was no media to scrape with these scans but it all seemed to work as you'd expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solabc16 379 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hello @@Gronda Thanks for the update, glad to hear the memory management when performing scans is behaving as expected. We'll keep paying attention to the memory footprint and any potential leaks as we continue the development effort. Regarding the behaviour of the plugin and associated scheduled tasks, probably worth posting and asking the question in a forum dedicated to the plugin; see if you can get a definitive answer on what is expected.
