Nothing seems to optimize, debug log shows “metadata is missing, requeueing”

Can you post your entire debug information from the settings page please?

Thanks for the reply, here are the full debug log. Looking at it more closely it looks to check and find that exec is disabled, along with other shell commands. My guess is it needs those to work? Which specific commands does it need?

Yeah, that would do it. Are you not seeing a big warning across the top of the setting page about the exec() function being disabled?

This is what the top of the settings page looks like:

I’ll see what we can do about exec.

Just replicated with no warning on my test setup. Gotta figure that one out, so folks know why things aren’t working right.
But yeah, the plugin requires exec() unless you are using the API.
