I havenā€™t had any issues with 1.24.2.4973-2b1b51db9 so far, no deadlocks yet

228

Gotta stop jinxing myself, just got a deadlock on 1.24.2.4973-2b1b51db9.
@sa2000 Iā€™ve just put the one dump+connections+logs for the new version in there, I wonā€™t put any more in.

229

Did you have an Android player on at the time?

230

I always have multiple Android clients at any time, I donā€™t think itā€™s related. Currently it only deadlocks pretty much only over the weekend which makes me think itā€™s more related to time and some kind of external source.

231

I got rid of all my Android clients and the problem went away. Hasnā€™t happened in 2+ months. The issue wasnā€™t consistent for me but the common denominator was Android.

232

I am rather pleased to say that its been 2 weeks and other than Plex fully crashing (app shut down) 2 days ago I have not had a connection overload issue at all.

There has been a few times where I would get 80+ connections open but Plex would still work and these would all sort themselves out after about 10 mins, so all in all its defo a massive improvement :smiley:

233

That is good to know - may be the fixed locking issue was a factor somehow

Lets monitor for a further 2 weeks and if no deadlocks, I will close the current open issues for your server

235

I just noticed that you are actually running on 1.24.1.4931-1A38E63C6 and not the new beta 1.24.2.4973 which has a deadlock fix

Lol yep, which is interesting to say the least happy to still monitor on the public build for 2 weeks mind :smiley:

I would also like to report that since running 1.24.2.4973 I have not experience one lockup since 8/30/2021.

I wish there was still a beta docker release, this deadlock is driving me nuts - seems to be happening all the time for me.

239

There is a beta Docker release.

plexinc/pms-docker:beta

or

plexinc/pms-docker:plexpass

These two containers are the same thing and to upgrade to the latest release all you have to do is stop and re-start the container and it will automatically pull the new version.

240

Ah, that was not immediately apparent or maybe its because I skimmed the readme and didnt see anything, Thanks!

241

@sa2000 Iā€™ve just had a deadlock on the latest version, 1.24.3.5033-757abe6b4.
Iā€™ve added the usual to the OneDrive folder, 369 connections at time of dump.

242

@morpheus2n2 Is this issue fixed for you?

I am finally going to say yes. @sa2000 I have been running the server now for what 4 to 5 weeks and not a single deadlock has happened now.
My server is getting hit harder than ever before with very very little issues.

Thanks for the feedback - I am going to close the issue I have with the development team for your deadlocks

Last feedback i have from the development team is that there was a thread stuck and it was running sqlite code. Any issues with disks ? any disc errors ? disc repeats ?

245

Iā€™ve got the databases on a RAMdisk so there shouldnā€™t be any issues related to disk access or speed.
Other than that one deadlock itā€™s pretty much stable again for me as well,other than the odd crash here and there - but Iā€™ve got it setup to auto-start when it does so it hasnā€™t affected anything.
Iā€™d say you can mark mine as closed to and Iā€™ll make a new thread if it does happen again.
