10.11 RC1 Scan Media Library Errors

[Jamie Chapman]

Maybe a bug?

Scan Media Library keeps failing. Not sure if it has anything to do with the nfo metadata stored with the media, or seemingly less likely, the images and trickplays stored with the media. The logs seem to indicate that the issues are database related.

Everything is from a clean install of 10.11 RC1 in docker using the preview tag, from the ground up. New database, freshly added libraries (just movies and shows for now, to test it out), but the media scan keeps failing. The only data that could be interfering is the metadata in the nfo files, which I store with all media, and images. Neither of these seem likely, but worth mentioning in case. 

Here are the logs:

Note: If I refresh metadata on a specific media item (show or movie) all data populates, including trickplays. Whatever is going on with the scan library function does not seem to be due to the core scan.

[theguymadmax]

In config/config open database.xml and change 

Code:

<LockingBehavior>NoLock</LockingBehavior> 

to

Code:

 <LockingBehavior>Optimistic</LockingBehavior> 

.

[Jamie Chapman]

I like optimism, so this xml tweak makes me optimistic 😊

Let me give that a go. I'll post back results.

[Jamie Chapman]

Looks like changing from NoLock to Optimistic fixed the scanning issue. Thank you very much! 🍻

---

If any logs are needed to help the devs hunt this down, just let me know and I'll get them posted.

[Jamie Chapman]

I changed this post back from solved. Looks like the Optimistic setting helped a lot, but the database is still locking. Snip from the log showing just before the final failure. The first entry in this snip appears throughout the log during the scan media library run:

Adding in some additional logging. The system is fairly unstable and very slow with a clean install of 10.11 RC1. Database locking occurs very frequently during library scans. After a clean reboot, the system sometimes crashes during startup, then comes online.

The below logging is during the most recent media library scan. It hits a fatal error and crashes.

I'm going to let things run for a while longer before going back to 10.10.7. Please let me know if there is anything I can test for you before I go back to the stable version. Happy to help if needed.

I have been running on all 10.10.x versions with no significant issues. Everything was working great. I know this upgrade is a monster for the team, and trying, no doubt. Thank you for everything you are doing for this community. If I can help with testing in any way let me know. Happy to spin up a test box with a smaller subset of data.

Thanks for posting. Most of these issues (the locking), the Devs are aware of and should be fixed in RC2. Official plugins for 10.11 are available in the unstable plugin repo. To test plugins for 10.11 you need to update the Plugin Repository to the Unstable branch: https://repo.jellyfin.org/files/plugin-u...ifest.json via “Dashboard -> Plugins -> Catalog -> ‘Cog button’.

Sounds good, thank you very much!

Once I got back to a stable and reloaded from the ground up 10.10.7, I removed all plugins (everything except baked-in defaults) and ran the upgrade to 10.11.0 RC2. Everything went great. Took about 25 minutes to complete the upgrade. There are still some issues showing up in the logs, but nothing earth shattering.

Most media browsing pages load fast, though slightly slower than 10.10.7. Browsing to the main shows, movies and collections pages is where the slight delay is visible. The home page shows this slightly increased load time as well. It's not significant enough to be concerned with, perhaps 1 to 2 extra seconds. Browsing directly to a show, movie or collection is as fast as before.

The database locking appears to be taken care of, or at least I have not noticed it while perusing the logs, and I have not needed to change the locking option from NoLock to Optimistic in database.xml.

The only repeatable, visible failure that I am experiencing after the upgrade is Audio Normalization. It was working fine on 10.10.x releases. Now it fails in under a minute consistently.

On Media Scans the system gets to just above 96% and then takes a very long time to complete due to errors, which are posted below. These go for a very long time with significant timeout delays between each, leading to the extended time to complete the scan (this is a guess, but I think it's close to correct)

I am using the unstable plugins repository, as was recommended, and all settings are configured per recommendations on the upgrade notes page: https://notes.jellyfin.org/v10.11.0_features

This is still a work in progress for all who are looking to upgrade, but the team is doing an outstanding job. Do not expect unofficial plugins to work until they have been reworked around the new database access design (EFCore).

Repeated ERR logs from the current running media scan. These go on for a good hour or so on my libraries due to their size and the timeout delays (I think):
