[SOLVED] RPi3A+ Network instability.

Interesting. If the CPU gets pegged it would explain the unresponsiveness of the system.

The components involved in a Library update are:

MPD
/var/www/util/list-songfiles.sh
/var/www/util/thumb-gen.php

The list-songfiles.sh command is run by thumb-get.php and it pipes it to sort. Since sorting can be resource intensive I'd try running the command stand alone and monitor it with htop in a second SSH term.

Code:

# Default is from the Prefs setting COVER ART > Audio formats

sudo /var/www/util/list-songfiles.sh Default | sort

Thanks Tim, something else to try.  It would be nice to work this out.  I'll run these tests shortly.
