    Plex metadata scraper for Audiobooks

    • Starting in the past few weeks using Plex Media Server version 1.27.1.5916 (on Synology), the metadata scanner appears to get hung up (or stuck) while scanning a large (over 1,000 albums) Library of Audiobooks. The Dashboard indicates "Updating Metadata" and just sits spinning on some random album artist entry. Takes a reboot of the Plex server to stop the metadata scan. Then some time later, 12 or more hours, the scan starts again and subsequently gets randomly hung up somewhere during the scan of this Library. "Prefer local metadata" is not checked on the Library. This audiobook Library is using the macr0dev Audiobooks.bundle metadata agent (and has been for a while without issue).
