thekingswolf 47 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Regular updates to both Emby and plugins, and other reasons to restart server. However I prefer to wait until no one is streaming to restart server, which often means waiting a long time. Would be nice to be able to set a date/time to restart the server automatically during predictable down times like early am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Luke 37067 Posted May 16, 2019 Solution Share Posted May 16, 2019 Hi, if the server requires a restart, we already have a built-in option to automate this, and it will only do so when the system is idle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekingswolf 47 Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) ok so how do I manage this mystery option? The below is already enabled and does nothing no matter how many days go by, this also doesn't work for plugin updates.

Luke 37067 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 It is the second option on your screenshot. There must have been connected users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBers 6771 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I think thekingswolf means, a scheduled task, separate from installing updates. There used to be a Server Restart plugin, which would restart Emby when you wanted, but it was deemed unnecessary and was removed,which was a shame, as it worked really well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekingswolf 47 Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 I do not have users connected to the server at all times for several days straight. the restart function does not work as selected. my request for being able to designate a set restart time remains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37067 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 It seems to work just fine in my testing. In some cases it could be background sync processes in some of the apps preventing the sessions from idling. That's a separate topic that we're looking into. Thanks.

This would have been great to have now. As I restart my emby server nightly to release tuners for a known issue. But it's better than having Plex!

zhongdongy 0 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 A work around can be using `cron` jobs. Just set it to restart every day / every a few days at a certain time. But it will restart from a system level and will not respect running tasks (and users streaming it will be kicked out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is absolutely wrong with this thing. It will not load cheese! I updated all the nugets, added System.Memory, and the thing is broken somewhere. I don't understand... What is happening?? It is literally under a 1000 lines of code. Edited July 24, 2022 by chef 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef 3745 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I'm going to build a new one from scratch. Then I'll know I have hit all the marks. It is such a small bit of code, it shouldnt take anymore then 45 mins to get it loading. Very, very strange... Unless it is the IApplicationHost... It is the only thing in the entire project that might be causing a problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
