Increase the number of simultaneous connections will help with importing Metadata at a faster rate and resolve issues where plex will run out of connections and Queue them in Memory. This could lead to a lockup of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the TPC Connection Limit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The default max is 128 open sockets and can be seen by<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo sysctl -a | grep somaxconn<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Now that we see the limit is so low. We can increase the limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo nano \/etc\/sysctl.conf<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Add the code below to the bottom to increase the limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
net.core.somaxconn=65535<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Use Ctrl + X to save and now reload the sysctl<\/p>\n\n\n\n
 sudo sysctl --system <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Now the new limit is active and can be verified using the first step<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo sysctl -a | grep somaxconn<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
