I started the scan for my movie collection (roughly 140 movies) on my Raspberry Pi 3B. It has become unresponsive and I can't ssh in now. It seems to be due to all the ffmpeg instances. I have two questions:
Should I wait for an hour or should I just reboot the server? Also, is there a way to disable the setting for chapter images from the web UI? I can't find it in the setting.
Probably your 3b is way underpowered for the task? I don't want to discourage you, but I only use mine as USBIP server and even updating that thing after install is feeling f* slow.
I think you're right. The CPU issue settles down after the first scan on a vanilla installation. But now my swap space is getting filled which is locking up the system. A Pi4 with 4GB of RAM isn't expensive though so if I can just swap the units without having to do anything else I might do that.
