Library scan keeps failing - pcm - 2024-05-24

Hi,

I every time I am trying to do my library scans, it keeps failing.

Looking at the logs it seems like it fails because of SQLite DB keeps getting locked... The DB seems to keep getting locked while trying to update/save images ...

Anyone run into this problem before ? And any idea how to fix this easily ?

If you have trickplays configured to use more than 1 thread, change it back to 1.

RE: Library scan keeps failing - pcm - 2024-05-24

Thanks for your reply.

I changed trickplay to use only 1 thread and reran the scan. Still ran into the same issue.

I disabled trickplay extraction during library scan. Still ran into the same issue.

I disabled trickplay for the library altogether. Still ran into the same issue.

I restarted the server ( via systemctl ) and reverified just to be sure that config was saved and attempted to rescan library and ran into the same issue.

I attempted a 'refresh metadata' in 'replace all metadata' mode and that job also ran into the same issue.

At this point I am considering deleting the library and readding it...

By any chance do you know where this DB is located on a typical ubuntu 22.04.4 installation ? Just in case I need to delete DB file ... I am using jellyfin 10.9.2 btw

@pcm @TheDreadPirate

I am having the same issue, except mine is SQLite Error 6. In fact, many people are having this issue on GitHub:
- https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/11834
- https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/11839
- https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/11728
- https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/11589

Any suggestions? I even tried a fresh install of 10.9.3 and I still have this issue.

It might be an issue with files containing special characters like '&', ‘–' (hyphen) and others?
I didn't have an issue with special characters in the past, but now I'm having problems (not sure exactly when it occurred).
Characters like 'ä', 'ö' and 'ü' are working fine.

Folders which don't contain specific special characters (in folder or file name) seem to work fine.
But others seem to stop the library scan.

Update: Found a solution for my problem.
Maybe it helps here too.

That's it! It was the '–' in the file names instead of the '-' that was causing this problem. Thanks a lot!

In case anyone else is facing this problem. Here's a quick oneliner linux CLI that I came up with to fix all unicode hyphens to standard (ascii) hyphens in all files and dirs.

Code:
find . -name "*–*" -print | while IFS= read -r f ; do  mv -v "$f" "`echo \"$f\" | sed 's/–/-/g'`" ; done

Hi, if those special characters are an issue, you probably have a wrong setting. Because with a correct installation they don't make problems.
You should check if you have a wrong env setting for 10.9.x (DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT set to true or 1). And if so, delete it.

Don't try to delete this variable with portainer if you're using synology docker (Container Manager), because it might reset the value. Took me a while to realize this. In Container Manager deleting the variable worked. https://github.com/portainer/portainer/issues/5813
