High CPU usage when Plex is detecting intros #44

Closed ljo123 closed 2 years ago

ljo123 commented 2 years ago

For some reason I'm getting very high CPU usage when Plex is doing a large scan and detecting intros on newly added media. Running the command docker stats -a was showing 60% under CPU % for plex-auto-languages alone. Stopping and restarting the container reset things and CPU usage when down to less than 1%. Anyone else seen this? Configuration file options were left at defaults. This is running in docker on win10.

The high CPU usage you observe is probably due to the library scan done by PlexAutoLanguages after Plex scans, I suppose that you have a really large library ? If it's the case, you should probably set the parameter refresh_library_on_scan to false.

Here is an extract of the mentioned configuration option:

plexautolanguages:
  [...]

  # Whether or not to refresh the cached library whenever the Plex server scans its own library, defaults to 'true'
  # Disabling this parameter will prevent PlexAutoLanguages from detecting updated files for an already existing episode
  # It is recommended to disable this parameter if you have a large TV Show library (10k+ episodes)
  refresh_library_on_scan: true

  [...]

Thanks that was definitely it. Large library and I missed that comment in the config. Fixed now thanks!
