jspmiller 2 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 After the v4 upgrade, my library scan hangs at 88%. After looking at the log, it looks like it does finish sometimes, but it takes 30 minutes to complete. Other times it appears to bomb out and start over. Either way, once it finishes, it starts right back up. Before the upgrade it took less than a minute. All Plugins have been upgraded and the server has been rebooted. I have disabled ipv6 and subtitle downloads per other users questions. I also upgraded to 4.0.1.0 last night and I have the same results. I have attached my server log. EmbyServer.txt
Carlo 4550 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Do you by any chance have the libraries set to monitor for change and are adding new content to these libraries?
jspmiller 2 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Posted January 22, 2019 Real time monitoring is turned on, but I am not adding content all day long. The scans start, run for 30 minutes, stop, then start again all day long. It did not behave this way before upgrading.
Carlo 4550 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 For kicks and diagnosing the issue could you turn that off on your libs to see if that stops it from constantly rescanning?
jspmiller 2 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Posted January 22, 2019 I just turned it off on all my libraries. I will let you know how it behaves. 1
Luke 39783 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 According to the log the scan completed normally. It did not hang, it just had some periods of time where the % did not change a whole lot. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.
jspmiller 2 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Posted January 22, 2019 So far it is still sitting around the 88% mark during scans. I would consider this hanging up since it just sits there. This is not how it behaved prior to the update nor should a library scan take 30 minutes and then immediately start over. Do you have any other suggestions? Right now, I have left the real time monitoring off, but I don't think that is the cause.
Luke 39783 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 You have a log showing a completed scan. Why not just wait for it to complete?
jspmiller 2 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Posted January 22, 2019 I do wait and it starts right back up as the log states. This is an issue and I would like it to be addressed. I can access my server at any point of the day and it will say 88.x% and sometimes I can actually watch it go from 88.x% down to 87.x%. Right now it say 88.3%. Can we start troubleshooting this issue? Could it be a plugin causing this? Could it be the update? Again, this did not happen before the update and you can not say scanning should basically run all day long except a few seconds out of each day.
Luke 39783 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 If you would like a faster library scan, you could remove these plugins: Auto Box Sets 1.2.2.0 Email Notifications 3.1.4.0 Fanart.tv 1.0.2.0 GameBrowser 3.2.0.0 IMVDb 1.0.5.0 MusicBrainz 1.0.1.0 Nfo Metadata 1.0.10.0 OMDb 1.0.3.0 Open Subtitles 1.0.11.0 Statistics 2.0.8.0 TheAudioDb 1.0.4.0 Trailers 1.1.9.0
jspmiller 2 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Posted January 22, 2019 I will start removing plugins to see which ones, if any, are causing the issue. I will say this, I didn't install most of those, did they get installed during the update?
Luke 39783 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Some of them are included with the server, but you can remove them if you don't need them.
jspmiller 2 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Posted January 22, 2019 Update, I removed all the plugins you suggested, restarted Emby, and the library scan still taking 30 minutes. Gets to 87.7% and starts to very slowly increment .1% at a time.
jspmiller 2 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 The other issue is, because the scan never stops (for more than a split second), the CPU usage stays around 13%. When I manually stop the scan it drops back down to 0%. Having CPU chewed up by a process that doesn't stop running is not a good thing. That is valuable resources that could be used for transcoding. Any one else have any suggestions? Worst case, I will revert back to my snapshot in vmware and try the upgrade again.

jspmiller 2 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 When I first setup Emby, I set it to 15 minutes and left it. Never had an issue before but I can try changing it. Does the Emby community have a recommended setting for this trigger?
Solution Happy2Play 9384 Posted January 23, 2019 Solution Posted January 23, 2019 So Emby is in a never ending scan loops as one scan finishes and another kicks off, since the initial scan finishes and two have been queued up before the first one ever finishes multiplying during every scan. Unless Realtime monitoring does not work on your setup, there is no need to run a Library Scan more then the default every 12 hours. I would delete the custom trigger in C:\Users\plex.admin\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\config\ScheduledTasks, look for 6330ee8f-b4a9-57f3-3981-f89aa78b030f.js then restart your server. 1

jspmiller 2 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 Happy2Play - I just deleted the trigger per your instructions and restarted Emby. It is now set back to the default 12 hours. I will let everyone know if this resolves it. Thanks for everyone's help! 1
jspmiller 2 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 This seems to have resolved it. The last couple scans took 32+ minutes to complete, but it isn't in a loop anymore. Thanks for the help everyone!
leeknight1981 0 Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Hi Guy's embyserver.txtquick-extract-imageseries-b372a63b-b4fd-4cc3-9200-266d27b018c6_1.txtIMG_1389.HEIC Added some tv shows tagged them as normal but my scan is stuck at 87.1% and i cant seem to get it to progress it then says Failed. I have shut UnRaid down and re started it etc but it gets stuck again at 87.1% put some logs but not sure which ones are useful, scheduled task is default 12 hours Thanks L33
Happy2Play 9384 Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 That log show items being processed (interval image extraction). What interval image option did you choose? Are both tasks running at the same time? I am guessing the extraction process is slowing down the library scan.
