High CPU load, scanner getting stuck scanning music library?

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Server Version#: 1.18.0.1944
Player Version#:

Since 1,18 I’ve been getting high CPU load on the plex media server process. The scanner seems to be getting stuck scanning my MP3 music library. If I delete my music library, the problem seems to go away. I see this in my process list:

1.18 server brought a brand new Plex Music agent which will scan your entire music library and analyze files. It’s probably normal and could take a long time depending on how many you have.

If I’m not understanding, let us know.

3

Wow was the really necessary? Anyhow yes the update rescans the libraries. Mine took most of the day to reprocess. Just leave it be and you’ll probably be fine.

4

Fing!

5

Agreed, I also have thousands of music files and it used to take forever to initially scan. Things settle down after the initial scan though.

6

This was running for many days. I only have about 2500 MP3. Hundreds of defunct processes is not normal.

7

I read your problem too quickly. Would you please get logs from your Settings

Logs

Zip and attach the ones timestamped today.

Related to this @ New music scanner - high 100% cpu on half number of cpu cores ??

I am having precisely this same problem with the scanner getting stuck, high CPU load, and hundreds of defunct “Plex Media Fing” processes which are children of the Plex Media Scanner process.

This is on a brand new install of Centos 8. I installed Centos 8 onto a newly created VM. Copied my music library onto it. Installed plexmediaserver-1.18.0.1944-f2cae8d6b.x86_64 started it up, pointed it at my music library and turned it loose. It ran fine for a day or two and indexed most of my music but then got stuck. I thought perhaps the directory it was stuck on might be the problem so I stopped it (systemctl stop plexmediaserver hangs, I have to use kill -9 on the Plex Media Scanner process.)
Anyhow, I stopped it, changed the permissions to 000 on the directory that it was getting stuck on and then when I start it up and kick off a scan it very quickly, like in 10 seconds, flies through a bunch of directories and then got stuck on something else.) Its a 100% repeatable. I changed the permissions on the original directory it was getting stuck on back to 755 and now it will get stuck on that directory again. Within seconds of it getting stuck there will be hundreds of defunct Fing processes .

I uninstalled the 1.18 rpm with yum remove and then manually removed /var/lib/plexmedia server and all other remnants I could find. Installed the 1.17 rpm, pointed it at my music library, and bada bing, bada boom, it indexed all of it no problem. There’s definitely a problem with the new indexer in 1.18. I do think it may be related to other bug report listed here which talks about 50% CPU utilization because that was another symptom I had… 300% CPU utilization of a 6 core system.
