WebUI refreshing array Started/Unassigned

Featured Replies

Hi, I'm having an issue where at some point (2-3 days uptime) my server webui is refreshing non-stop and flap between Started/Unassigned.

I wasn't able to download the diag because I get this webpage when it try to download it:


404 Not Found
nginx

 

I can give you the logs I see from the webui before reboot (see attachement)

 

and diag after reboot (see attachement)

 

For reference I've been having issues with 6.12.x freezing every 1-2 days and reverted to 6.11.5

I deleted statistic plugin before the last reboot.

 

To be clear, this issue happened to me once while I was on 6.12.8. Now I was up for 3 days but I get this issue.

Try booting in safe mode and see if the same thing still happens.

Will do.

Anything from the logs seems suspect to you?

A few nginx issues, but these can be caused by different things.

Now I get this, but the system seems stable:

Those should be harmless, they are from NTP, you can try disabling and re-enabling NTP (Settings - Date and Time)

I also get a lot of these:

My college has different message when the mover run.

Sorry, lol I'm just trying to get unraid run the correct way and be stable...

Ok nvm the NTP errors... I guess it will solve by itself:
 


"This is normal after rebooting the server, time will get synchronized after a while (assuming you have NTP configured)."

Yes, should be fine once it corrects the clock.

got this this morning and I was on my cellphone so I only have printscreen (see attachement)

 

Later on a computer the UI was responsive, but started to do the issue (WebUI refreshing and got these logs (See attachement)

 

Still can't generatediag file when that issue is happening.

There's a OOM error, so processes were killed, you can try limiting the RAM available to services.

Ok but do you think other errors were also linked to that issue (white logs after + webui flashing not long after) ?

Seeing this:


mapping /dev/shm/ instead of /TMP would limit to the half of ram (16go) in my case.

If I have no more issues after this, I'll have to check how specificaly that container work (why 32gb is filling up and never released) But thats another story.

 

My next question is.. Could it be possible that this kind of behavior is not handled the same in 6.12.x ?
Never had OOM before in 6.12.x only freeze + hard reboot. (Thats why I'm back to 6.11.5 now with no app store)

 

And also, since you're a Moderator, do you have access to know if the future 6.13 kernel will handle these a better way ?

Thank you.

Can't really reply to those questions, I never used Plex, there could be differences in the kernel that change some behaviors, v6.13 is expected to have kernel 6.6 or newer, but don't know if it will make any difference for this.

TLDR; Setting Credit detection to online only (no local detection) and make sure nothing is in temp folder assigned to Plex container (related to plex) solved the memory usage issue.

Ok so problem solved here and a lot of people having issues with 6.12.X might have the same root cause.
Writing this down here so it could help other people in the same boat.

Downgrading my server to 6.11.5 was the right initial thing to do to actually get some logs and pinpoint the actual issues.
UNRAID OS VERSION WAS NOT THE CAUSE. But it was way more difficult to troubleshoot with 6.12.x*

By putting Plex TMP folder to /shm instead of /tmp prevent from it to take all the memory and make the system misbehave.

 

I was then able to see with the container and server logs to see whats going on without being in the front of the server when the issue happen.

A thing that was kinda persistent is that the issue was almost all the time happening around 5h30 - 7AM in the morning.

Digging down process and ram usage I found that:

  • HTOP would show that couple Plex transcoder process using a lot of CPU
  • Temp folder (/SHM) would actually fill up with couple creditDetection-(UID), etc

Digging more, there is a thing called Credit detection (skip outro) that is not the same as the intro detection:
https://support.plex.tv/articles/credits-detection/

 

By default this thing is set to : both, try online first
Which mean if the Outro metadata doesn't exist on Plex DB let your server transcode the files to search for pattern or w/e magic this does.
This option by default start when media is added AND at maintenance hours: By default at 2:00 AM
End of maintenance tasks are also by default at 5AM and maybe something at 5AM was triggering end of task but wouldn't work.
Anyway, putting this option to : online only (no local detection) completely solved my issue.

This issue happened out of nowhere. Why ? because at some point, a TV show was added to my server and that one had probably no entry in the Plex db and made the task goes.


Its unfortunate that this kind of features just break the whole system.
Moral of the story, never map a container path to Unraid /tmp. Rather use /Shm.
