Lighthammer 80 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'm having a problem with Web Client load times. Android and Chromecast work awesome right now off my server but Chrome and Firefox take forever to load. It eventually does load but it always takes time. I looked at the logs and they didn't give me much info. I'm going to try to get a clean set to attach. My kneejerk reaction is it's the sheer amount of media I have. I have around 20k files (videos + music) and I had been wondering if the database is just now having trouble keeping up and getting stack errors. NOTABLY, however, I recall this problem just started occurring when my Video Game Rom folders showed up in the Web Interface and appear to be blank despite having what I feel should be properly formated file names.

MrWebsmith 598 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) ok ill bite i have some questions (i dont see this and i have a huge library so i dont think thats really it, but im not ready to rule it out).. 1. - chrome on desktop is what youre talking about? (have you tried firefox?) 2- are you trying directly on the server itself (same box) or over local lan or over remote wan through the external address? 3- what kinds of timings are you seeing?.. if you can ballpark an average.. 10secs? 1 mins? put it in some perspective for us. 4- specifically what page are you loading?.. the webclient home page (/mediabrowser/dashboard/index.html) or the server home page (/mediabrowser/dashboard/dashboard.html) 5- yes definitely attach the mbs server logs for as "clean" a test as you can Edited October 30, 2014 by MrWebsmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthammer 80 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) 1 - Chrome and Firefox equally have the same problem.2 - This is any computer on the network. The server equally has the problems. I'm running through a network local IP.3 - Several minutes and it varies but never less then 2ish minutes.4 - http://192.168.2.111:8096/mediabrowser/ And FYI and something particular I noted in the first post but want to reiterateThe FYI is the server DOES reboot automatically every day as a System Task.What's particular is the Android app has no problem accessing it. Fairly, it does have a load time, but nothing remotely in the ballpark of the Web Client. The MBT3 desktop client doesn't have this problem either. It's just the web client.

techywarrior 688 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I think it may be very useful if you could reboot MBS to clear the log, Open the web browser and let it take 2+ minutes to load, then immediately go to the dashboard, grab the log and post it here (zipped if too large). Hopefully there will be some indication as to what is taking a long time. Or at least indicate where else to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthammer 80 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Since my ISP had been down for the last few hours, it gave me some time to finally fiddle with things.There were some interesting things that seemed to be contributing to the problems.First and foremost, like other similar posts, I saw Media Browser was taking excessive amounts of memory. It got up to consuming 2 GB on initial loads. The system has 8 GB so it's not stupidly detrimental, but the system, while at the physical console, was notably super sluggish. I did some maintenance on it to get rid of a number of programs. Since Chromecast was introduced, I've gotten Chromecasts for all my TVs so there was no need to run several things on the computer anymore. Among the items I removed were:- Media Browser Theater (and all related addons) - Avast - An Android remote called Maxremote - Disabled Acronis services (it never ran as a weekly/monthly service, its simply for on demand backups).Another thing that I feel might be the biggest culprit is I had rearrange my ROM collection some time ago and the original folder that was mapped in Media Server now could see all the Dolphin Emulator files. The log suggested it was having a hard time dealing with all the files, particularly those in the NAND folder.2 Reboots later, the server seems to be running a ton better now. Initial web loads are still kind of bad, but nothing like they were.Sadly, I don't know how much the log files can really show from the totality of these problems, but since I *DO* realize I've been being a 'bad' tester in regards to being able to pop logs out when I actually have problems, I've gone ahead and made the logs a lot more accessible on the network so I don't need to VNC into the server anymore or be at the server itself to get them. That should help for future reporting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthammer 80 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Yea, I'm really wondering what was causing the slow down now because it literally is night and day with the programs I removed.The ones that seem like the most likely candidates is Avast and Media Browser Theater.I DID have Media Browser Theater set to load after a 15 minute delay through Task Scheduler,Is there a known problem Media Browser Theater running with Server causing memory leaks?
