Server Version#:1.24.0.4930 Player Version#: This can’t be right. At this rate - it will take… EIGHTY THREE DAYS to complete sonic scanning? My Plex computer isn’t new - but it’s a 6 core processor with 16 GB of RAM. Fast enough that this shouldn’t take until Christmas. What do I do? This CA…

I have mine regulated to running as a scheduled task and it appears stuck. The number hasn’t changed after 9 hours. I had a hardware crash over the weekend while it was running so I’m thinking it’s botched. Is there a way to reset the analysis? Can I just turn it off in the MUSIC EDIT ADVANCED tab a…

The sonic analysis uses a separate sqlite file. It might have been corrupted by your hardware crash. You can try this: shut down the server then delete this sqlite db. It will be restored after the next analysis run You can find it in a subfolder Music Analysis n of the folder which houses all …

Thanks Otto! I’ll have a peek when I get back home.

I run my Plex server on an “old” Intel Core i5-3,5 GHZ with 16 GB RAM and a SSD disk and on my System Sonic takes an average 1.5 min to process an album wich means about 1000 albums in 24 hours! So my system has about 30 days before the process is finished.

I have mine set to only run during the scheduled task time frame. No matter what I do it’s sitting there everyday morning (and has been for the last 4 days) saying processing 4377 albums. The number never changes. If I reboot the PC it won’t run again until the next schedule maintenance but once it…

For me it would only start when the setting for sonic analysis was “as a scheduled task and when media is added”. With just the scheduled task nothing would happen either, but with this setting it would kick in a few moments after adding some new music to the library.

For me it didn’t do that. Also, why did it indicate that it’s scanning x number of albums as soon as the scheduled tasks would start, when it’s actually not scanning yet? (The problem is solved for me now. All my albums have been analysed, but it would not work with only the scheduled tasks)
