Just in case it should be related in any way to UCTI's (re)building virtual libraries after a restart I've included a check for missing library or active scanning process that should delay this until the rescan is done.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Use Comment Tag Info
Do you have some plugin or script that -*automatically*- triggers a database rescan (clear/wipe or only looking for new media?) after *every* LMS restart? If so, why? I only rescan my library (clear/wipe) after I've added new tracks or if the filename of the existing ones has changed. So in short: not very often at all. When LMS restarts there are always some plugins that need to interact with the database when they're initializing and if the database is not available (rescan) there might be problems. So I usually trigger the rescan -manually- and certainly *never* together with a LMS restart. Just take a look at everything automated/scheduled. The usual way to get to the bottom of this would be to disable all plugins (or at least all those that interact with the database and might (b)lock it) and then reenable one by one.

i've try to deliver better logs. I've disabled your plugin, and everything went back to normal. No problems as described above. Perhaps it isn't your plugin alone, but a combination of my other running plugins.

And you don't get any of these messages anymore if you disable this
plugin (UCTI)?
Without knowing more it's hard to say. The first message seems to be a
networking problem ("Connect timed out"...) which may be related to the
unreponsiveness but probably not to UCTI.
The importer related messages are simply saying: some plugin like UCTI
is asking the server if there's an active scanning process but the
server can't get this information at the moment because the "database
handle" is "inactive". That happens if you restart and immediately
trigger a rescan (with the help of some plugin or script), and maybe did
a database wipe before. UCTI only asks for this information
(stillscanning) when it registers title formats or displays track
information (song details page).
So please check the (*timestamps* of the) log messages *_before_* you
restart LMS (with the auto-rescan).
And then do your restart/rescan and check the log messages and their
timestamp again. Do the importer related messages only show up *after*
the restart/rescan? Do you have a plugin/script enabled that triggers a
rescan after *every* restart? (Plugin updates requires restarts as
well.)
Considering that other UCTI users have enabled auto-updating too and
haven't reported such a behavior (unresponsive) I'm not convinced that
UCTI on its own should have such a terrible effect on your LMS. And I
haven't been able to reproduce this so far either.
