Hello there, Is there a roadmap to improve peformance between the database and Plex? I installed Plex on Docker, and sometimes, I have the followinf error: Sqlite3: Sleeping for 200ms to retry busy DB. I know, it is because sometimes, disks are busy with other pods and response is not enough good for Plex. but it freezes Plex until disk are no more busy 3 options are possible: - Connect to an external database - Write lot of less to database - Cache data before writing to database Thanks for your response ---

Also curious about this. When scanning multiple files in, the server will become inaccessible which is a huge pain in the butt. ---
