Plex Media Server Failing to load libraries consistantly

Server Version#: 1.41.0.8994
Player Version#:All
This has been driving me up a wall the past week and a half. Three or so weeks ago I migrated my plex media server to a new server, more cores, more RAM, etc. The first week it worked perfectly, and then as of this past weekend (Oct 6th or so) and if I recall a Plex server update, my home tab on any streaming device I use (web, firetv, roku, etc) lags significantly and most of the time will not load my continue watching. Combined with this I get frequent failures to load entire libraries (but will work other time randomly), as well as the recommended in most libraries now fails to load.

As I said all of this was working fine not only before my migration, but for at least a good week or more post migration. I’ve refreshed metadata on all libraries several times, I’ve run a database optimization several times. I’ve cleared out the cache and had it rebuild, I’ve even gone through and have run a DB repair found here.

Logs indicate that database transactions are being held to long suddenly and I’m not sure as to why (VM is running on 4 2.7TB 15k RPM SAS drives in a RAID5). I’ve also noticed something strange on my NAS where all my media is stored, in that every episode file now also has a .xml and .metathumb file associated with it in the same folder, as well as a “folder” jpg file in each season. None of these files were there before.

An update.

I restored from a snapshot I took on 10/6, before windows updates, this didn’t appear to do anything. In the mean time I also went ahead and blew away all the .xml and .metathumb files on my NAS. While doing that I rolled my plex server version back to the last 1.40 available. Upon immediate loading of this version everything in my libraries, loading of continue watching, as well as recomended suddenly worked again. However as Plex started to rescan the libraries it started re-creating all of the .xml and .metathumb files again.

It would appear the longer I let it scan and create all these files, the less responsive my libraries become (especially the recommended tabs).

Did I miss something in my migration that’s causing this behavior? Is it a permission issue that Plex Media server is using a fail over mode and writing these files to my NAS instead?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I realize this isn’t an easy fix, but if anyone has any ideas as to why .xml, .metathumb, folder.jpg and plexmatch files keeps ending up in my media folders, I’d love to hear it. I’ve triple checked my appdata folder where the Metadata and db’s are stored and confirmed that my account (which plex server runs under) has full control, I’ve also confirmed that nothing in the folder tree is set to read-only or archive, and yet the files keep returning on in my media folders. I suspect that these sitting on my NAS are what is causing the problems with libraries, recommendations, and continue watching failing to load due to timeouts.

Not Plex. WD NAS?

Figured out last night that the files are actually unrelated, and being created by Sonarr (setting that had gotten missed in it’s migration as well). Still having a terrible time loading the home page, Continue Watching, or any recomended tab.

So I ran a db repair and re-index this morning, claimed everything in the DB was fine. Here’s some logs from the plex media server.log when I attempted to load up my home page from a different machine on the network:
