High CPU usage on Raspberry Pi 4 #884

Describe the bug
I'm running Pinchflat on a Raspberry Pi 4 using Docker, and I'm seeing consistently high CPU usage (10–40%). The container seems to be polling my media sources every second, which I suspect is causing the high load. All downloads and indexing is finished. Indexing is set to every 3 hours with cutof date of 30 days, so thats not much videos.

I run image: ghcr.io/kieraneglin/pinchflat:dev (because :latest doesn't have ARM support)
