    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
