Slow library scans fix?

[jellykrabbypatty]

Is the slow full library scans a result of the new server or am I doing something wrong? I feel like it used to be pretty quick after the first scan to recognize everything. Now my scan sits at 20% or even goes backward some for five minutes each time and then finishes. 

I know the progress bar is not an exact representation but the process itself is taking forever. I have .NFO files and the artwork saved in each media file so what the hell is it scanning?

To be able to help you, we need to know more about your hardware, jellyfin installation type, OS etc.

If using Linux, have you checked that the permissions of the media libraries are correct set? And or created a jellyfin user so, it has right read/write permissions?

Hello, 
I am using docker compose (yml) on an i7 computer, 16Ram, and HDD external media with linux. I created a jellyfin user.
I checked and reset linux permissions after the last server update. I think they are OK but the permissions is very confusing on linux to me.

I am running this in BASH (usr is my actual usrname).

Okay, please run this (copy and paste):
sudo chmod -R 755 /mnt/mediadrive

Please give it a bit of time, then:
Turn off the computer
Unplug the USB drive
Turn off the USB drive
Turn on the USB drive
Plug the USB drive to the computer
Turn on the computer

Please see if that helps.

Hello, 
I put that command in, waited about 7 minutes or so, turned off computer, unplugged power and USB to drive, waited about 2 minutes, plugged it back up, turned on computer, ran initial scan, but still getting the same issue.

Okay, well that's maby a good sign.
Then i need you to show your docker-compose.yml file

I completely deleted the jellyfin cache folder and restarted and let it rebuild and it's still having the same issues. I'm guessing it has to be the update. I have no idea what else it could be.
