Emby Server Locks up every night

[vick1982 15]

could it have anything do do with trans-coding ? i know it has turned off many times when a user is watching a show.. normally about 30 minutes in ... but i dont know since cow666 is saying its doing it with nothing connected too

Don't think so.. my server locks up when nothing is accessing it.

[vick1982 15]

this is getting frustrating.. i am having to remotely log in to my server all the time and restart the server..  is nothing being done about this ? something has changed since the last version so the developer should know what it might be

Sorry if I'm repeating myself here, just to confirm, it locks even with the Kodi server plugin uninstalled?

yes that sucks,,, but in my case i just have to restart emby server.. not the whole server itself.. so yours is worse than mine..

[cow666 6]

Going to uninstall the Kodi plugin when it comes back and try again

 

No more plugins.. just running server and Kodi client

and the blasted thing has just died again.. process locked.. unable to kill another reboot.. 

So it appears as if it has nothing at all to do with the plugins.. no plug ins and it crashed quicker than ever before 

[Angelblue05 4132]

If you turn off the Kodi client,  do you experience the same? Let me know... I'm afraid this will be a process of elimination.

[cow666 6]

Sorry.. this is my main entertainment system.. I can't be stopping all TV to go and reboot the server everytime emby server decides to become a zombie. Think I'm going to put emby on hold and go back to vanilla Kodi. Sorry.

[Angelblue05 4132]

I don't think Kodi is the issue, but it's better to be safe (other users in this thread reported not using Kodi). You saw your server crash quickly, so it'd be a quick test to confirm.

[cow666 6]

I have no other way of accessing the server.. Emby theater will only play snippets because I haven't bought a license yet. (was actually going to but then this started happening and changed my mind).

You've probably done it but... have you checked the Windows System and Application logs? Some scheduled Windows tasks can cause issues with 3rd party software.

for me it isnt affecting kodi... its affecting the apps and web access which me and my family use alot ... we use kodi with emby addon just for pc in lounge and theatre room as it is way better for that. 

 

Someone in my family is always messaging me saying emby isnt working on their phone, tablets or computers from web browser and i have to remotely log in to the server and restart emby server... is happening multiple times a day... i am just waiting for the people that  i have told to go to emby from plex to give me hell now

I feel your pain mate.. I'm setting up a second instance of Kodi tonight thats looking straight at the SMB server and going to Plex for the remote stuff.. can't be doing with rebooting my server everyday just so my family can watch their shows.

[vick1982 15]

Will have to do more testing. But i have been away from home for 4 days and it hasnt hanged yet. So the only thing different is not using kodi emby addon since been away

[cow666 6]

Yep.. I haven't touched anything and it hasn't locked up for 3 days now.. (Kodi Plugin and Trackt plug installed and enabled) .. totally stumped

I had 1 lockup now. Dont know again

[leezy 1]

I'm getting lockups too but on my ubuntu server.

[cow666 6]

I have now been running for 10 days and not a single hang up, I have the Kodi plug installed but have just checked the Emby for Kodi plugin and noticed that I have never actually re-enabled the FastSync option. As I have been running perfectly well without this so a simple process of deduction would indicate that the fast sync has been the cause of my woes.

 

 

I'm a happy cow again

It's good you found problem . But without fast sync is painfully slow on some of my clients when restarting kodi. Hopefully this bug can be fixed with the plugin as it was working fine before the update

Hi guys,

 

Did someone solved the problem ? (by solved I mean with the FastSyn option checked).

Because I don't found a thread about this into the Fast Sync thread.

Could it be something that's incompatible with the latest modifications done to the plugin? I'm fairly sure the lock up is caused by the plugin under specific circumstances... Maybe database related? The users confirmed that not using the fast sync plugin resolved the issue.
