Dibbes 431 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 2 hours ago, JuJuJurassic said: I set the scheduled task "Live TV - Refresh guide" going on Saturday morning, but this time I've cleared the crontab etc that turned the media server off, so it's been on since then, but it's only at 15%. Incidentally, the Emby server worked fine during the update, but no one watched live tv....yet... but the films played okay. I don't mind recreating the Channels if it solves the problem, so would it be better if I just delete the VirtualTV.xml file from plugins\configurations, and restart Emby? In effect start from new? Thanks So once in a while, and this is on a Windows server, the refresh is stuck on 15% for a long time. The longest it has taken, was over 4 days... this is not a plugin issue though, as this also happens when the plugin is completely removed from the server.

Hi Dibles, It's running on an Ubuntu server, with nothing else. I guess I'll just leave it running. I read some comments on 4.8.x, aside from all the moaning about release dates and not being very appreciative of the work being done on the upgrade, it mentioned updates to the database on 4.8.x. Do you know if these updates will solve the problem? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if these updates will solve the problem? Thanks I don't know if it will solve it... I've been running the latest betas, installing these usually within a day of release of said beta and so once in a while it's still stuck on 15%, usually when there are a lot of delete operations pending... Unfortunately I lack the symbol file to properly debug... Either way, keep in mind that if you try the upgrade, going back from 4.8.x to 4.7 is not an option due to these database changes...

JuJuJurassic 28 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I left the refresh running for 5 days, but it didn't finish. Then the power flipped for 10 minutes, so emby restarted. Shall I remove the plug, and its xml file, and try a refresh? or has my database got problems? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested beta on my small lib's but I saw no difference.. they are very small compared to others. I'm running the stock stable release (4.7.14).

With the current issues with the 15% hang for very long time guide refresh, my server becomes unresponsive. Whereas no-one can watch media while the refresh takes place. I have left this refresh going for a few days recently and still it hung at 15%. So I am currently building another Emby Server and populating it. I shall then restore user data and continue with that build. I will then leave the other server to hang at 15% for as long as it takes to clear all erroneous TV Channels. But as to your "what do you expect from this" A simpler and quicker route to delete channels without the need to stop users using the server. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, obviously I am admin of the server, and yes it is up to me to figure out, thus why I am creating a second Emby Server, (Which has no issues with TV Guide Refresh) to replace the current one. Well, I did give them a heads up. Informed them that Emby was becoming unresponsive due to the TV Guide Refresh. Ofwhich that means nothing to them, only when can they view media uninterupted. Thus I advise either use the plex server, or try netflix/prime ect ect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an issue like this several weeks ago with guide refreshes. They would get stuck around 10% and stop. I deleted the plugin with no help. I ended up deleted my entire lineup. I think the key here was deleting some of the caches too. No sure if the upgraded beta helped at that time or removing the caches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
