That is not out of the ordinary for a first time scan. Especially if you have trickplay and chapter image extraction enabled during library scans.
RE: slow media scan - metropical - 2024-06-26
music only and now stuck at 48%.
I assume that trickplay and chapter image extraction have to do with video/film/tv.

I did see a couple log entries about not being able to reach MusicBrainz. I'm wondering if you hit an API rate limit or something.

TMDB, TVDB, and all of the online metadata sources only let users make a certain number of accesses over a period of time before they throttle how quickly you pull down data. Since your music library is so large it may take a while to fully scan.

Is the scan still going?
RE: slow media scan - metropical - 2024-06-28
I stopped it as it was stuck at 48% for a day.
Judging from that link I'll try at a different time.
Is there some way I could use the Emby scan/library?

Can you turn on debug logging and try initiating the scan again?

RE: slow media scan - metropical - 2024-06-28
a bit above my pay grade. Though I am familiar with Terminal (command line for MacOS) and have used it, when I enter "--configdir", I get back "zsh: command not found: --configdir".
I'm gonna assume that this is normally a "hidden" file in the OS. Where might I find it if it exists?
ooo, just found it in "hidden" - .config/jellyfin/logging.default.json.
lemme see what I can figure out.
edited - .config/jellyfin/logging.default.json. as per the linked instruction, but I saw no change when I pasted it in.
closed it and am rerunning the scan.

From your log.
Code:
Main: Config directory path: "/Users/fritz/.local/share/jellyfin/config"That is where you would create the logging.json file with the content specified in the doc I linked.
