Emby preventing WD PR4100 going to Stand by Mode

[DarkStar1977 124]

Hi Emby Team,

Latest version 4.10 even has improved the performance on my PR4100 is creating a new issue, the system never goes into Stan by Mode.

I've checked all the forums and found this one on QNAP but even removing all these plugins, the system is still running 24x7. Emby is the only application deployed in this system:

Those are my current plugins installed:

You can see that most of them are metadata related and the others are triggered by a schedule that happens less than 2 times a week, so doesn't seem to be the problem.

Library scan also is triggered once a week.

Please note that PR4100 has only options to configure Standby Mode on or off, when it's on and working, goes into sleep mode at 15 minutes of no activity.

Attached my embyserver log / hwdetection after a restart in case this helps.

Please this is urgent as my HDD are spinning 24x7 with no reason and that decreases their lifetime.

Thanks.

Then restart the server and see how things compare.
