Slow loading of movie page

Server Version#: 1.24.3.5033
Player Version#: same problem on all my devices, webos, ios, webapp

for 1-2 weeks i have the problem that the loading time for information below on what you see on the picture is very slow. it takes up to 10 seconds. it’s only in my movies library, shows are fine

i tryed to clean up the datebase but it doesen’t help

How many movies are in this library?
Do you still store all movie files inside the same folder, without creating a subfolder for each movie?

there are 4.440 movies in it. every movie has its own folder

Another thing to try is to
Edit your library,
go to the “Advanced” tab
and DISable “Include related external content”

i did disable it and it helped for ~70% of my movies. the “similar movies” and “more with …” is instantly there like it was in the past.

i have a tidal subscription and want to keep the “Include related external content” option on…

anything else i can do?

Are you using any IP-based filters or block lists in your firewall/router/security appliance?

no i have none of that. the only thing i did is to give plex manually the permission in the windows firewall.

the machine is a i7-6700k, 1050ti, windows 10 enterprise with plex on a m.2 ssd.
the windows installation is from 2021 and the server only runs plex, hqplayer and roon.

i hope it isn’t another corrupt database…

in some cases it takes over 20 seconds to load the similar movies and stuff

for every movie (and shows) i have costum posters (poster.jpg files)
and i changed a lot of them recently. the old poster.jpg which doesn’t exist anymore is also still there

@ChuckPa

i don’t want to upload my logs publicly. can i send you a pm?

the problem is auto movie collections. i deleted all collections and without them it loads instantly.

i changed the minimum size from 2 (hundreds of collections) to 3 to have less collections but it didnt help

How large is your primary Plex database file? (Location in here: Restore a Database Backed Up via 'Scheduled Tasks' | Plex Support )

Do you store all movies together in a common folder
or has every movie a dedicated subfolder in your media file storage?

the database size is 2gb

all movies have a seperate folder where the video file is in. like this for example

R:\HD\8 Mile\8 Mile.MKV
R:\4k\A Quiet Place\A Quiet Place.MKV

its direcly related. a movie which is within a automatic created collection needs about 15 seconds to load, others are instant
