SOLVED: Scan sticks at 46% and then fails to add media - Rodgear - 2024-03-11

Hi folks,

I have an issue that only recently started happening. I am trying to add a tv series. When i tell the tv library to scrap for new items at hangs at 46% for at least an hour, then acts like its finished. It will then show an entry for the series but wont have any episodes listed. The format of the files are the same as others in the library. I have tried to add different series as well, resulting in the same issue. The system jellyfin server is installed on hasn't changed. 

Any suggestions?


Jellyfin 10.8.13
linux lite

SOLVED: Long story short. Somehow the folder and file permissions and changed to restrict jellyfins ability to access them properly. So i changed the permissions.

tl;dr MFing PERMISSIONS!
