Server Version#: 1.21.1.3876

Hi,

I have been having regular server lockups over the past 2 weeks. When it’s locked up, menus won’t load, streams stop, and new items won’t play (confirmed by 2 users on AppleTV, Shield, and iOS, both hard wired and wireless).

In the past couple days, it’s become a bit unusable and has gone from lockups 2 times a night to about unusable.

The docker log is fully spammed with “Sqlite3: Sleeping for 200ms to retry busy DB” messages. This setup worked fine for about 9 months, but I do recall a time where I was having some intermittent Plex stuttering where I saw those same entries (albeit only a handful compared 30 a minute). I ended up setting the server to only add new items every 2 hours and turned off the thumbnail/chapter indexing.

I also attached a docker log from the Plex container (official latest) where you can see the DB lockups in the last 1000 lines.
