Emby Docker Causing Extreme Latency

Featured Replies

UnRAID 6.9.2

 

Issue: Starting earlier today, all of a sudden my unRAID system has been causing extreme latency and packet loss on my network. After a little trial and error, I've determined that this is being caused by the EmbyServer docker. When I stop this docker, my network traffic returns to normal.

 

I've never had an issue like this before. I use Emby daily and it is quite important to me.

 

I'm not quite sure how to go about troubleshooting this.

 

As soon as I start the docker, the network goes bananas. I've attached some screenshots.

 

Any ideas where I can start troubleshooting this? If I need to troubleshoot with Emby support, I can try that.

 

Please advise.

So I reinstalled the docker last weekend and the issue went away.

 

All of a sudden when I got home today, it had started again. This leads me to believe there is some automated process that is running that is causing the issue. Any suggestions as to how to look for it?

 

Updated log attached.

Are there tasks that run in Emby on regular interval that could cause this ?  (full library scan, metadata update, etc ?)

Thanks so much for the reply. That's what I've been trying to figure out. The "scheduled tasks" area of the Emby settings is not very helpful, unfortunately.

 

What's really odd is that it seems to be completely outbound traffic according to what I'm seeing on the unRAID dashboard.

 

I'm also attaching the emby logs here. Not sure if anybody knows how to interpret them.

 

Here's what it shows when the emby docker is running:

And here it is with the docker stopped:

Issue seems to have been resolved by disabling DLNA in the Emby settings.
