Server Version#: 1.18.2.2058
Player Version#: Any (but I’m talking local access on the server itself for the most part)
Can’t provide logs as the server is not accessible. It is cranking at 100% doing Lord knows what, but it isn’t accessible in any way or form while it is doing that.
Here are the steps I’ve done at least three times to get here.
Step 1. Start with 1.17.0.1841 Build up a somewhat massive music and audio book library and then have the tv shows stop loading metadata and posters due to a change at THETVDB
-
Upgrade to 1.18.2.2058 and the library updates and then…nothing. 100% CPU usage and that’s it. logs are cranking away retreiving stuff and humming along but you can let it run for days and it will never finish or tell you how long it will take or let you have access to the application while it does this. For all intents and purposes, it is now dead.
-
Cancel application, revert back to 1.17.0.1841 and remove all music and audio book libraries. Clean bundles, empty trash, whole nine yards.
-
Upgrade to 1.18.2.2058 and it launches in a few minutes. Works great. Start loading in a subset of music library and it goes alone fairly well. Start loading in Audio Books and the scanner hangs on a few word docs that are in one of the directories. It tells me it is scanning those wod docs for hours. Cancel the scan. Library says the scan is cancelled but the upper right says it is still scanning. Can’t get it to scan anything else. Reboot the server and it is dead. 100% CPU and no access.
Go back to step 3 and start over. For the third time.
This is getting really #$*%&# old. Is this a known problem with 1.18.2.2058? Can PLEX just not handle large numbers of audio files? Will this not be solved until PLEX decides to do something that people have requested forever and support sudio books directly? Is there a limit to the number of music files / albums / artists that PLEX 1.18.2.2058 can support? Can we have some real error correction in the music scanner so it won’t fart around for hours and just move on? Can the server bring itself up to functional BEFORE it starts rescanning everything (or whatever the hell it is doing) so error logs can be obtained and at least it might be able to stream a movie? I went around and around with ChuckPA on this a few weeks back and I’m wondering if 1.18.2.2058 just isn’t ready for the big time yet? But you guys are making it really hard to stay at 1.17.0.1841 now that your THETVDB scanner no longer works at that level.
