I recently updated (yesterday) and last night and today had lots of problems with playback becoming jittery with video – audio seemed fine, the only thing in my logs when this starts happening is a crap ton of:
Sqlite3: Sleeping for 200ms to retry busy DB.
Restarting plex would temporarily alleviate the problem – I tried verifying the database and even dumping it and reimporting it per suggestions on “fixing database problems” i found in another post… no change in behavior from any of that…
In a last ditch effort, I downloaded the latest non plex-pass release and reinstalled it… so far, the problem has not re-presented itself…
Anyone else ran into similar problems?
It is also not a resource issue… the server has 24 cores, 96GB ram and 5Tb out of 14Tb free on the RAID array…

holy hell 24 cores and 96GB of ram /drool lol
As for Sleeping for 200ms to retry busy DB.
I have also noticed this with the last version, only a couple times though when it is doing a library scan (i use the command line). I honestly didnt think much of it though because media plays fine and honestly just figured it was something trying to read/write to the db while it was already open…
It would be great if you could; capture logs with a working installation and then reinstall the latest and capture logs again in a faulty setup, otherwise the dev’s will have a hard time pinpointing it. Please also state which version seems to have fixed it as the latest isn’t Plex pass only (1.3.2 is public).
Hmmm currently I am on Version 1.3.2.3112 – and you are correct – perhaps I got stuck on a corrupt install or something… I suppose once I can reproduce the problem I will collect the logs and try and find the differences. I have no way of verifying what version i replaced last night (didn’t think to check the number)
Logs from Ubuntu 16.04 (latest updates and kernel) from Plex 1.3.2.3112
This has at least a large # of of the Db lock errors already – have yet to see the video jitter problem but hopefully tomorrow we’ll get to watch a few more shows (it seemed to happen after a few consecutive shows)
If that doesn’t help either you should have a backup of your database (due to Plex pass and the butler feature), hopefully one of the backed up DB’s are OK -
