Emby server 4.9.3.0 and latest beta become unresponsive after a while

[FamFrederiks 2]

I noticed that my Emby becomes unresponsive: ie hangs during playback or not being able to login.

Using 4.9.3.0 or latest beta in a Docker on a Terramaster F4 NAS.

The logs show that a media scan of my music library was running, there are no errors in the log, just the latest song scanned. After a restart of the Docker everything becomes responsive again. The log is attached.

How to troubleshoot this one?

Hi, I would try disabling the realtime monitor for each of your emby libraries. Then restart the server and see how things compare.

Ah. I think I know what happened. After upgrading the OS on the NAS permissions for the Docker user were stricter. So I added a script that chowned the files to the correct user. For video's and music. Could touching those files maybe have triggered a loop in the realtime monitoring?

I adjusted some things. Don't really need RTM on music and photos. And the script runs once a day instead of every 4 hours.

Thanks for the reply Luke!

It would receive events for all the files being touched and then try to reprobe them, so not really a loop but an event flood perhaps. Your permissions should not be changing that you need to run a script every few hours...

Yes, it was a badly thought out fix :-). For now, until I solve the problem with Docker on Terramaster TOS 7 I use this in the script to only change permissions that have to be changed:

find /Volume1/Photos \( ! -user docker -o ! -group docker_users \) -exec chown docker:docker_users {} +
