Slow media scan JF 10.11 RC5 - 34626 - 2025-08-20
Just testing out Jellyfin 10.11 RC5 and noticed that it takes extremely long time to do the first scan, so i checked the load on the CPU and it was shocking low.. Some times it did seem to use multiple threads, but most of the time, it did not look like.. Im not sure if this is a bug, but if, would it be possible to make the media library scan use more threads?

Jellyfin does have the ability to scan in parallel. Dashboard > General > parallel library scan tasks limit
In 10.10 the limit wasn’t used correctly.
