Crashing while scanning - zwiebl - 2025-11-01
so yesterday i updated from 10.10.3 to 10.11.1 (windows) and also upgraded my hdds where my media is stored.
when scanning all libraries jellyfin just crashed and stoped at around 24%. then i found this issue https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/15207 that has to do with metadata. so i replaced all metadata and then it could complete the scan. did multiple scans and all worked.
some items were not identified so i id'd em manually with tmdb code. once i was done in the evening i scanned the libriary again and i kept crashing / stopping at 24% again. tried about 3-4 times.
today i wake up and try again and it completes the scan without issue.
2 hours later i do another scan and it crashes / stops again at 24%
RE: Crashing while scanning - zwiebl - 2025-11-03
i still need help. no idea what the issue is. sometimes it can complete the scan. but most of the time it just crashes.
here is a fresh log but it doesnt help much. yes E:\#Serien and playlists are empty.

edit3: didnt mention yet, but i can scan the all libraries single (filme only, anime only) always without any issues.
RE: Crashing while scanning - Glorp - 2025-11-10
I'm having this EXACT same issue. I upgraded to 10.11.2, completely fresh install on a new drive, deleted all my previous data from before, doesn't fix it.
Same as you, I built the libraries, they all scanned in, 24 hours go by and scanning crashes the server. No plugins, nothing. I can also scan each library individually no problem.
This has to be a bug. Let me know if you find a fix!
RE: Crashing while scanning - zwiebl - 2025-11-13
my fix is i removed library scan from scheduled tasks & stopped clicking the scan all libraries button
