I do not know what happened in the first install that caused the issue, but I decided to wipe and install again. This time I had no issues other than occasionally the scraper had an connection error issue when building the movie and tv show libraries, as I experienced before. The scrapers I am using are "The Movie Database Python" and "The TVDB v4". My only conclusion is something was corrupted last time when building the libraries.
I am running on the wired connection with wireless disabled and updates are set to manual because of the lack of nVidia GPU support in the current version. Thank you for your time with this and finger double crossed it remains stable.
