Serviio

General Performance Thread

Hi
i would like to start a general performance discussion. I use Serviio now since nearly a year and very comfortable with.

Whats the intention of this thread:

Give a comparable feedback for Zap and co.

Give some type of statistic for future development

For this i ask you to tell about your usage/experiences/size of mediathek/libary and feelings.

Size of Mediathek : 1,28 TB - ~ 25500 Files | Movies: 1,15 TB - ~1290 Files | Music 134 GB ~ 24000 Files

I have the impression that Serviio sometimes need a full reboot? Can anyone share this impression?

every system 'need' weekly reboots, so why serviio would be exception?

No, they don't. My main Serviio server, which is of course actually running on a server OS, is only rebooted when required by updates. It will go weeks or longer without a reboot. My test server is running Windows 7 Home Premium, and it also is only rebooted when updates require. I have a Linux network at work that requires a reboot every 30 days, but that is for applications it runs, not the OS itself. I've run Windows servers for months on end without requiring a reboot.

I'm unsure what you mean by "mediathek". I find no file or folder with that name.

If you are referring to my total file counts, I have over 560 movies and 1333 TV episodes spread across 14TB of drive space. I'm probably using about 7TB right now. Of course, there's still lots of free space available for additional files. I have no music or pictures on my server. I have at least a couple dozen Blu-Ray rips, which accounts for the space used.

OK, I did a search for mediathek, and gave it a try. I can't make it work, at least for the freeware version. It won't load my files with a folder scan, gives me an error message. Sure looked interesting on their web page, though.

what is point of this discusion? talk about when we reboot?
serviio works ok, someone reboot once per year, someone weekly, someone switch on only when is going to watch some film....
data in database are not huge so i am sure there is no limit for serviio's database, in fact, only limit is number of TB someone has to hold video files....
google to discover about derby:

As above....ps never reboot serviio server [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

Thanks for the quick respond.


@atc98092 Mediathek = library, im sorry its a German word for it

@Iveky No not really. this would only be an workaround for the problem. In general this should be a feedback/discussion about how i Serviio scaling with large libraries. And this also should build up a little statistic for former development. e.g. Zap knows whats average size of an library out there in the world.

My System is a Server 2k12 Standard (Core i5, 16GB, ~3TB Space, Serviio runs on an SSD!, library is stored on HDDs)

@atc98092 Did you had any issues with indexing your library? on my system serviio and console is completely freezing/hanging?

any clean install should work ok, any size of library. as time is runing some crap is always gathering... so best is to install CentOS and serviio, after that you don't need to reboot for centuries

agreed, had my box running ubuntu 12.04lts running for a ~year without a reboot. Serviio installed from day 1. Windows is your issue for the reboot
