Every morning Plex uses a bunch of CPU for about half an hour and says “Sonic Analysis: Processing 1 albums”

#### Version 1.30.0.6486

Same thing every day even though I have not added a new album for many days. How do I determine which album is being analyzed so I can remove it and determine what is wrong with the media?

Restarting PMS from within the QNAP interface solves. I have since upgraded to 1.30.1.6497 which has not fixed the problem. Best I can do is provide logs every morning I discover it not running. Any other suggestion for steps appreciated.

The media [server log](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) will talk about it (look for lines with `MusicAnalysis: Analyzing album ...`) or upload for us to look at.
