windows server error 4066 EMFILE too many files open

[feltz916]

Describe the bug My server has been having problems doing most file operations. Copying files from my transcode cache, running mediainfo, etc. Getting the following errors:

[2024-02-06T21:23:51.349] [WARN] Tdarr_Server - FFprobe was unable to extract any data from this file: [2024-02-06T21:23:51.945] [ERROR] Tdarr_Server - { result: 'error', error: {} } [2024-02-06T21:23:52.222] [ERROR] Tdarr_Server - [Error: EMFILE: too many open files, open

[2024-02-06T21:25:20.844] [ERROR] Tdarr_Server - Error running MediaInfo 3 [2024-02-06T21:25:20.844] [ERROR] Tdarr_Server - EMFILE: too many open files, open

The thing that does not make sense, is that the transcodes are working correctly on the node client.

To Reproduce Its been this way for awhile now, and not sure when it started.

Expected behavior There should be no errors, and files should be copied.

ended up being a authentication problem with my NAS, while running the server as administrator :(

[feltz916]

guess it wasn't related to auth, and its due to node.js and windows file io limits: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/44832

Have you tried running the Docker container on Windows? Might solve your issue

[feltz916]

yes i gave up on windows, and moved to a docker image.

Ok thanks for the update, I haven't encountered this on Windows myself but can troubleshoot if needed in future by checking subprocesses in task manager on Windows and at what point the error occurs after starting up.
