Upcoming takes forever to load

So remember when it was decided to stop caching upcoming shows and make it a live query. Well here is proof that it was a shite decision.

Cloudflare error:

Error 522: The Handshake Failure

This error occurs at the Network Layer. Cloudflare attempts to establish a TCP connection (SYN) to the origin server (or through your proxy) but does not receive an acknowledgement (SYN-ACK) within the designated window.

• The Cause: The request is being dropped before a connection is even established.
• In Automation: This often happens when a target site’s firewall silently drops packets from known Datacenter IPs. The server doesn’t reject the connection (which would be a “Connection Refused”); it simply ignores it, causing Cloudflare to wait until it times out.

Trevor are you perhaps in the UK?  Connectivity from overseas to the metadata on a US server, might be part of the issue.  Does it eventually clear and show upcoming episodes? It could be an issue with Emby.

worse, Australia!

it has always been historically slow, but recently I put my server behind a cloudflare tunnel, so it seems slow plus cloudflare is not a good combo.
