Guest InvidiaHD Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Is it possible to get more performance for updating metadata? Only one thread works. I have ±1500 videos, it takes several days.. or there might be an extra parameter in Docker? I use Unraid and "Emby Server" Docker container.
Neminem 1524 Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Have you pinned the cpu cores to you emby docker ? And there by not allowing emby to use the cores.

So I would either fix that or turn these options off.
Luke 42083 Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 The next thing is, the thumbnail preview option is very explicit in it's help text saying it will cause scans to take significantly longer. You probably want to configure the previews to only be generated during the background scheduled task.
Guest InvidiaHD Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) Turning off all options actually helped, it also says in the description that it will take longer with these options.. Why does it take so long? Can't the process be expedited? As I said, my processor is sleeping and only one thread is really working. The data is on a Raid-5 with 4 Samsung EVOs and I have 10Gbit symmetrically. I don't think it can be because of that.. are there too many wait's between meta-pulls? No, I'm just thinking.. I really think it could be because it only runs on one thread! Edited April 24, 2023 by InvidiaHD
