Emby Becomes Unreachable When Tasks Run.

[freddyfinn 9]

I have found on the latest version of emby server that I cannot connect or clients lose connection when a task runs. 

It seems emby has crashed whilst the task is running becoming unresponsive however once the task is complete connection to emby returns. 

Last night it was a library scan and tonight it was a guide refresh. 

If I can stop the task while it's running network connectivity returns. 

I've monitored CPU and memory when this has occurred and there are no spikes in usage of either.

Hi, what tasks are your referring to?

[freddyfinn 9]

Emby tasks. Library scan or guide updates.  

It was even a major effort to to get the dashboard open as the browser interface doesn't want to load making it look like emby had crashed.

Try removing the cover art plugin, then restart the server and see if it performs better. thanks.
