Server Version#: 1.25.4.5426 Player Version#: n/a Since a couple of days, I have problems wth updating libraries. After a fresh server restart, automatic library updating (scanning for new or deleted media in my libraries) works. But rather sooner than later, that behaviour stops and it seems that…

The issue appears to be resolved in the new release. I still could be in the restart window that keeps things working, but it’s been an hour or so and things are working as expected. I’ll keep testing and see if the issue pops back up.

Darn, and you are so right here… Had so many PMS zips, named almost identical…Sorry :slight_smile: On it again Edit: Await your feedback on the new version

Still a problem. I have to search for the library in which media search is “hanging”, then abort that library’s media file search… then the next few queued library searches go well, then another “hangs”. Edit: I do not want to be a pain in the … just adding an @dane22 reference for notification pur…

Could I get a fresh set of logs please, right after reproducing?

I have a significant library, so…

Thank you, @dane22 It’s not only about movies, but can happen in ANY library. - probably some special character issue in paths or file names… or a wrong index. I stay open for debugging…

Same issue here Also on 1.25.4.5468 on QNAP system 99% of my content is English but some German moves sprinkled in. Started two Plexpass versions ago (last week?)

I can confirm the files it gets hung up on in both of my libraries are perfectly named (I know this because I’ve been going through my entire library with Filebot, one drive at a time, and this happens at the end of every scan. Everything is named as follows: Movies: Movies/Movie Name (Year) {tmdb…

Hey, can y’all please confirm which agent(s) you are using for the libraries with issues. Generally looks like the database is getting locked but not sure why yet.
