MediaBrowserServer gfjardim - library scan hanging

Featured Replies

If I stop and restart the container, it will go a little more percent and then hang again.  Any ideas?  I am using the gfjardim one.  If someone knows another, let me know and I will try it.

I am now trying the Hurricane one.  It's doing the same thing.

I had issues like that. Basically, it wasn't finding a movie properly and that hung it up. I ended up just using the metadata manager and alternating between identifying the movies that were missing all the data and trying a scan again until it got them all. I had some movies mislabeled that couldn't be identified that I had to fix.

 

It uses the same data as XBMC so you could use another metadata scrubber and drop the nfo file into each directory. Once there is a IMDB and/or TMDB ID in each directory it'll scan properly.

 

Why don't you just use the official server docker from the Media Browser team?

I would love to use the official one if I knew the address you put into the template repository field at the bottom of the docker screen and then which one to select under which [] heading.  I am seeing that if I go in and Identify each of the movies it is moving a long a bit now.  Let me know how to get the official one and I will use that which is what I would rather do.

I believe that's it.  (Lionel would know for sure)  However, you're not putting that address into the repository field.  (The repository field is only for those dockers which have been set up with an .xml file to make setup a hair easier for unRaid.  (http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=37958.0)

 

Check out Lionel's posting here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=37732.msg349938#msg349938.  He's even using MediaBrowser as an example

Yup, the first one is the official. I was thinking you knew how to run another docker with your initial comments but Squid linked up my posts on how to install a different docker that isn't provided in a template.

 

You can actually start with the template version and just change the repository link and also slide the advanced tab and change the repository URL.

Thanks gentlemen.  I think I may just reconfigure with nzbget, nzbdrone, couchpotato, plex and mediabrowser in one container (if that is possible).  I am still learning docker.  Basically make my own.  Hopefully, all of those have their own docker repositories.

It's possible, but doesn't follow the philosophy behind docker. A docker per app is the better way to go.

I see.  Ok, I will try to configure it so each one has it's own container then?  I thought that you had a container and the apps ran out of that but it sounds like each app has it's own container from how you describe it.  I need to read more on the structure.  Hell, I am a engineer at a storage company but docker is new to me.

Docker is similar to a chroot unix setup.

Each Docker has its own environment.

Well, I tried it and it downloaded everything ok and when it was trying to start, it looks like it failed to bind port 1900:

root@localhost:# /usr/bin/docker run -d --name="MediaBrowser" --net="bridge" -e TZ="US/Eastern" -e TZ="America/New_York" -p 1900:1900/udp -p 7359:7359/udp -p 8096:8096/tcp -v "/mnt/cache/mediabrowserserver/":"/config":rw -v "/mnt/user/main/shows/":"/tv":rw -v "/mnt/user/main/movies/":"/movies":rw mediabrowser/mbserver:latest

The command failed.

I restarted Docker but it's still failing to start MediaBrowser.  Something has port 1900.

  • Author

I just removed port 1900 and port 7359 and left the 8096 because that is the only one I remember having before and it started up fine.

Anyone know what port 1900 and port 7359 would be used for with regards to MediaBrowser?

 

Port 1900 is Universal Plug and Play and Port 7359 is Quicktime Streaming Server maybe?

I dont know what those ports are for, but I can tell you that I'm not forwarding any ports because I'm using "Host" and not "Bridge".  Is there a reason you are using "Bridge"?

If I stop and restart the container, it will go a little more percent and then hang again.  Any ideas?  I am using the gfjardim one.  If someone knows another, let me know and I will try it.

 

Just update it, please try again.

No particular reason.  I will use Host and see how it does.

Did changing to the official docker speed up your scans? My scans aren't locking up but they are taking forever and i've read they are only supposed to take seconds.

 

Thanks

Depends on the size of your library. Disabling image extraction for chapters will speed it up. PS I'm the official developer of the container for the MediaBrowser, and the packager for debian releases.

I think I figured it out. Somehow, even though my appdata is set for cache drive only, at some point it got on my array drives. So I think it was re-downloading metadata every time. I shutdown, backed on my MB data, removed the folders from all my non cache drives and restarted. I installed your docker and restored my MB data.

 

Something happened where it didn't save my Library paths so I started with TV shows only to start. scanning took seconds. It is re-downloading all the meta data and it did keep my watched status. When it is finished, I will add my Movies and see how it goes.

Yes, Hurricanes is the official one, install is a cinch, I use bridge because all of my dockers are brigde to each his/hers own.

 

I posted on the emby site, for some reason when i use my laptop or my roku 2 to stream it peggs the cpu to 99% percent.

I have plex as plugin and maybe spikes it 10-15% and back to normal on the same show same resolution.

 

But to the point Hurricane's is really easy to deploy.

I like some of the things you have done with the docker container, I would like to encourage you to fork my container and contribute via that method. If we all work a one container for one app we will endup with better containers. This is just a suggestion. I think for now that I might update it to phusion and see what other changes you have made that I like.

I agree. I build it initially when no other container existed. If you like to assume it, it's all yours.

 

Maybe we can do the same with other duplicate containers too.
