192.168.0.50 is a Linux VM I have which basically runs Kodi and keeps my mySQL database up to date as it performs an automatic update each hour. Even though it scans the same files, there’s nothing Plex related installed on it - including no Plex Kodi plugins. All files are accessed via SMB - not DLNA or Plex in any way. I still don’t see how it would be at fault for transcoding multiple titles, though; as I’ve never played anything on it before as it acts somewhat headless.
I’ve got Chromium installed on that PC, but haven’t ever played anything from it. I’ll remove all devices associated with it - assuming there are any - from my config tonight just in case.
As far as Ombi, I thought of that and it’s installed locally; but stopped its service (verifying process was gone) and the issue still occurred.
I actually am leaning towards that being the issue after reviewing the post. It seems to match and I haven’t experienced the issue since powering off the VM last night. Really strange issue, though.
So the problem isn’t directly Kodi, but the cleaning of it’s database? I did try out a Raspberry Pi with OpenElec plus the Plex add-on a while back, but it’s since be re-imaged to strictly use RasPlex. I have multiple Kodi systems therefore all share a common mySQL database located on the same system as PMS. Seems that temporary use of the Plex add-on caused permanent changes in the DB causing the issue. I didn’t see any steps for fixing the DB so guess the only way to still use both without issue is to rebuild my Kodi DB from scratch.
I’ll post this info to Kodi as well as perhaps there’s a way to do it without complete rebuild as I have a large library.
Is it because the kodi database has Plex media as a source of media ?
It needs to stop looking for media within Plex or change the way it is done so as to use valid requests and not to overload Plex media server with repeated requests
I can’t remember if there was reference in the other thread to stopping this kodi database refresh action or its interaction with Plex
