Accidental media scanning just during movie streaming

General Discussions

I was watching a movie but accidentally it stuck.
My NAS where PMS is running went to 100% CPU.
I check via top - all CPU was eaten by Plex Media Scanner:

But I have disabled periodic media library scanning:

So I was hope that it prevents Plex from automatic scanning through the whole media. But it turned out that it doesn’t.

Is it correct behavior?
If so how to disable such an accidental IO workload. It’s media server for streaming media after all. Now I have to wait when it finished.

Ok, I found more settings in Scheduled Tasks:

  • [x] Optimize database every week
  • [x] Remove old bundles every week
  • [x] Remove old cache files every week
  • [x] Refresh local metadata every three days
  • [x] Update all libraries during maintenance
  • [x] Upgrade media analysis during maintenance
  • [x] Refresh metadata periodically
  • [x] Perform extensive media analysis during maintenance

all were on.

So it could be correct behavior that Plex start “deep analysis” but it’s pretty unpleasant and not user-friendly to be happened during movie playback.
