I have an existing Linux laptop with Jellyfin installed and it is working fine. That laptop is aging though, so I got a new Beelink mini PC with Windows preinstalled, and am trying to set up Jellyfin on it. I copied all the media over via sftp, and it is in a folder on my C drive, C:\Library\Videos.
I installed Jellyfin using the Windows installer, and there is some problem with the initial media scan. When I log in to localhost:8096 and navigate to Home, it just spins forever. If I go to dashboard/libraries, I see my Library there along side the Add Media Library button, but the image is just a '?' and there is a '0%' in the corner. If I do Scan All Libraries, the bar never fills, it stays at 0%.
I turned on debug logging in C:\Library\Videos\config\logging.default.json (set Serilog.MinimumLevel.Default = "Debug") but I don't see anything that looks like or is logged as an error in the logs. If I let it run for a long time, mostly I see messages like this:
I can see in Task Manager that Jellyfin.Server is quite busy. Always between 50%-100% of CPU usage. But it never seems to make progress that I can tell. The percentage of media scan never goes past 0%, and nothing in the logs indicates it is looking at files, etc.
What else can I try or look at?
