Unfortunately its single threaded so its very easy for a plugin to
accidentally lock the server. The plugin APIs related to scanning is a
bit better today compared to when TrackStat was developed to decrease
the risk of this happening during scanning. Scanning is the only thing
that runs as a separate process to avoid the risk of locking the whole
server. However, the scanning APIs would unlikely help with the
TrackStat issues since people would be equally tired of a scanning
process that takes several hours to complete.
The easy solution is to uninstall plugins that cause these kind of
issues, especially unsupported plugins like TrackStat thats unlikely to
be fixed. For people interested in rating support there is a new Ratings
Light plugin thats actively supported and dont have these kind of
issues. Might be worth to encourage the developer of that to add
features necessary to be able to replace TrackStat.

If its related to the TrackStat plugin it hangs in an SQL statement
executing in the SQLite database code.

I think so but its about 10 years since I wrote this code so I might

There is no way to trigger the refresh specifically via CLI.
If the Rescan refresh option is enabled and the Startup refresh
option is disabled it will only run after LMS performs a rescan and this
might solve the problem as long as you dont perform rescans when you
are about to use the system. Could be complicated though because you
probably want to listen to new music immediately after you have ripped a
newly purchased CD. I also believe LMS performes rescans automatically
of a subset of the library in some situations.
The other option is to disable Rescan refresh and instead enable
Startup refresh. This might work if LMS and its computer is always
running and you dont need to use LMS immediately after you have
restarted LMS or the computer running LMS. Could obviously cause issues
after upgrading LMS since LMS might seem to hang after upgrading.
Disabling only the Enable musicbrainz tags option can also help in
some setups since the musicbrainz handling part in the refresh operation
might be the cause to the problem. You should be able to see in the
server.log which part of the refresh operation that takes most time.

There are two options in TrackStat for its refresh operation, one for
refresh at startup and one for refresh after rescan, if you disable both
in TrackStat settings page you should not have the problem that LMS
hangs. The side effect of disabling them is that you will loose some of
the smart logic in TrackStat, primarily related to not loosing data if
you rename or move music files. If you dont rename/move music files you
are probably fine with having both these options disabled.

I use LMS 7.8.0, unfortunately my current setup cant run any later LMS
version. Havent updated the Ubuntu OS for a long time and the old
Ubuntu version Im using breaks newer LMS versions. Unfortunately my
spare time is a bit limited at the moment so I will likely not have the
time to look into this in more detail in the foreseeable future.

That's pretty consistent with my experience and (based on a prior post of yours) library size. I'm running on a Raspberry Pi (3?). I put up with it because that's my "overnight" box I use strictly to serve up Never Played Albums while I sleep. So if I do a scan early in the day, the fact that it's not usable for several hours doesn't hurt me. I understand your frustration and share it to some extent.

I have 90403 tracks. Before (on 7.9.1) when I added a new album and then did a scan, it took 10-15 minutes. During that time the system was sluggish but not unresponsive. I could play music and use the webbrowser. Now it's completely unresponsive. I cannot use it at all and the browser just says Unable to connect. It stays this way for 9-10 hours every time i reboot my box or do a scan. BTW I run my system on a dedicated headless box with a barebones Debian Stretch and ONLY run LMS on it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] LMS very unresponsive after upgrade from 7.9.1 to 7.9.2
So I kill'ed the processes, cleared cache.db and started in failsafe. And that works. So my guess is that it's a plugin-problem. Seeing that Trackstat took a long very long time to synchronize I'm a bit suspicious of this. So I removed failsafe and rebooted and waited for it to respond (9+ hours). I then cleared the Trackstat DB and restored a Trackstat backup from the night before I upgraded LMS. I then deleted unused Trackstat statistics (which took 9 hours. The same time LMS is unresponsive after a reboot). And then rebooted my box. No luck. Same response, LMS will be unresponsive for the next 9 hours. I'm considering clearing the Trackstat DB, reboot, and then see if it's unresponsive. I have 12 years of statistics in the DB and will be very tired of losing these... If it's Trackstat that's the problem, I have no idea why it should be? I haven't moved any of my music or changed any settings. Only upgraded the LMS package. But supposing that it's another plugin that's the problem, can I disable them all (not uninstall), and then enable them one by one, without losing any of their settings? If I remove their tick-marks, will they then be uninstalled or disabled? 30698 +---+ |Filename: Billede 1.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=30698| +---+ GoodVibrations's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15333 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112388 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I guess It'll be back in another 9-10 hours... All the "bridge" plugins are very large about 30Mb and they come from sourceforge. Sourceforge has been behaving very badly recently sometimes taking over 20 minutes to download. LMS in 7.9.2 is setup with a 20 sec download timeout, some fixes were put in to 7.9.3 & 8.0.* to help with such long downloads. My advice, forget about plugins for the moment and get your system running and clear of other issues before dealign with plugins. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112388 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] LMS very unresponsive after upgrade from 7.9.1 to 7.9.2
I'd like to help, but I'm on Windows. If I had your issue I'd terminate all Squeezebox-related processes: squeezesvr, scanner, squeeze*. I'd also clear all Squeezebox-related cache. Restart Squeezebox in safe mode. I'm not sure how this is done in linux. Try adding --failsafe or -failsafe to command line. If not a plugin, your problem may be related to the version of perl in use.

[SlimDevices: Unix] LMS very unresponsive after upgrade from 7.9.1 to 7.9.2
Been running a rock stable setup on Debian for more than 12 years now. I almost never "fiddle" with it, so I'm more than a little rusty with my own system. That's the price you pay when it just works. :-) But the other day I got tired of it bugging me with a message about an upgrade being available. So I upgraded from 7.9.1 to 7.9.2. (dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_7.9.2_all.deb). I'm running it on 4.9.0-12-686-pae (perl is v5.24.1). After the upgrade it became almost completely unresponsive. I cannot access it from a browser or any of the players.
