General slowness of my server on Plex Web

I can confirm deleting the blobs file did not speed up, or make the Recommended pages load any quicker, and I am still swamped with slow queries, and there is nobody watching right now.

New logs.

Puzzled…

Also what is this error, I see it a lot in the console;

[Req#194c] Unknown metadata type: folder

Ignore the ‘unknown metadata type’ error messages.
Engineering is moving things around and that’s one of the leftovers they will be cleaning up. It’s harmless.

At this point, your only recourse is to stand up a new test server with a different name (to avoid collision).

If that doesn’t help then it must be your OS or hardware.

Just circling back on this.

I am using rclone to mount my google drive, and also using rclone union to unionize the mount + my local drive, which is what Plex points to.

Would the mounts cause Plex to have slow Query? Surely the mounts wouldn’t impact the recommended pages?

Is your APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR on the host or do you have it on the LAN?

Do you have it running through any “layers” like this ‘union mount’ ?

My Plex Application Support directory is located /mnt/ssd/Plex/Library/Application Support

This is on my UNRAID server on the ssd.

My media mounted via rclone is on /mnt/ssd/mounts/cloud/

Then I use rclone union to unionize /mnt/user0/localmedia and /mnt/ssd/mounts/cloud:nc to /mnt/ssd/mounts/media

Then Plex libraries see /mnt/ssd/mounts/media to scan in.

Thanks for clarifying.

Media doesn’t matter whereas PMS APP_SUPP_DIR does.
PMS needs the file system locks which aren’t guaranteed when running network or other merged file systems.
