Thanks for looking Chuck. Unfortunately, I’m 99% convinced it’s an issue with loudness analysis when music is added (or when the night-time scheduled processing takes place), not with a video file - for a number of reasons:
- I’ve had GG for years, without any problems. This problem started a few weeks ago now.
- When this happens, it uses my entire RAM and then takes down my server completely. For that reason, it’s been tough to troubleshoot even this far, but setting “Analyze audio tracks for loudness” in Library to “Never” stopped it for a week.
- Tonight I had some time so I tried to force the issue by setting “Analyze audio tracks for loudness” back to “…and when media is added” and then added some music files.
I raised this on the forums a week ago where I uploaded a different set of logs, which might help further.
(Also, it’s a difficult one to instigate as there seems to be no way of manually starting the loudness analysis process without adding new music or changing the scheduling. The “Analyse” menu option on media in my library doesn’t launch the loudness analysis process, no matter what the settings say.)
Thanks again your time on this so far; I’d love to get to the bottom of this so I can start using volume levelling again without my server crashing every night!
