emptying trash, optimizing databases and cleaning bundles did nothing.
the system seems to get locked up when going a large amount of data.
but after a system reboot, it starts working again. lucky for me, reboots only take a minute now. so its no big deal.
metadata fixed.
thank you again kind sir. i just have to be sure to reboot every few days instead of letting it run for a year without a reboot, and i will not have any problems. hopefully this is the last problem i will ever have.
and 3 hours later im back.
GOD DAMN IT!
since rebooting last night and this morning, i cleared bundles and optimized, and emptied trash. then rebooted. it never really got all the movie metadata. it kinda threw temporary covers on some things. im trying to go through and fix them, but suddenly once again, its not working. its just chugging away and doing nothing.
for things that it has metadata for, if i try and change the poster, it takes several minutes wile it āthinks about itā. in fact, any editing is very slow to pull up specific windows or controls.
so essentiallyā¦ we are back to the same problem. but this time its intermittent. an hour after reboot, its fine. but any longer and it locks up and goes back to the old problem.
Plex Media Server Logs_2019-06-19_12-17-19.zip (3.7 MB)
i did check to make sure my version of windows was as up to date as possible. and i have not imported any old server files.
all movies have titles with dates. (mostly)
i bet it has something to do with my routerā¦ thats gotta be itā¦
Iām in the same boat. The only difference is that Iām running Plex in FreeNAS but the symptoms are exactly the same. Iām at a loss.
i have come to the conclusion, its plex itself. this version of updates has a bug in it.
in the past, i did update to a beta version to try and fix the problem. that did not help. but that was before i had a legit copy of windows.
im gonna say next update might fix it. since it was the update that made it stop working.
it has also been recommended to me to get a raspberry pi? run plex off that. because its Linux based, plex will run flawlessly off of it. they are like $50.
plus it will not have any of these windows issues.
supposedly plex was built to run off Linux. so putting it back on Linux will help it. but you can only have 10 streamers at a time. this is all hearsay at this point. im just repeating what i was told. but when you hit a wall and nothing can fix it, you will reach for any solution. i plan on making the transition in the next week or so.
unless a new version came out, i realize i did not have java. once i installed that, everything started working.
Thatās very curious, because Plex doesnāt use Java at all.
i had 24 hours of working metadata. i got excited and hoped i found a fix. i was wrong. windows did an update and now nothing is working again.
sorry for the false hope.
