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.

    Oh strange, a quick Google search doesn’t bring up much of anything either. With loads of people having Pi’s and presumably also having tried to limit the capabilities, you’d think someone else would’ve posted something about it. If it really bugs you, maybe try a fresh install of Raspbian Lite 64bit and see if things work? Otherwise I think it might just be a limitation of the Pi.

      Someone suggested renicing the processes. Not sure how practical it would be but I’ll look into it. Besides that I think I’ll just return to using an SMB server. It was ugly but it was easy :) The Pi4 isn’t expensive these days either. Thanks again, I appreciate it!
