Plex Media Scanner high CPU

Hi, I’m on the same version of Plex as well and having the same issue.

OS is Ubuntu 18.10 and at first it looked like the solution could be found here:

But neither disabling UPnP nor installing 1.14.0 or earlier did the job. I’m still getting massive CPU usage to the point the machine is almost unusable.

Does this mean I should just let it do its thing? Admittedly, I only recently reinstalled PMS and the scanner has only been running for about an hour and a half (though, I did experience this issue before and it lasted days which is why I removed it).

How long do you think should I wait and what else can I do to gather more data about this issue?
