    Thank you for the response!

    No trickplay enabled either (I left pretty much everything at the default, and trickplay + chapter stuff all default to off).

    Quote:Well, you have IO errors that are causing this. Any idea what else could be using the files in question? There are quite a few of them:

    I agree, those did look suspicious. But looking through my latest logs, I'm seeing far less of them, and while things started progressing faster (I made about 40% progress in the last 3 hours, which while still very long, is much faster than before), there are still gaps where a bunch of ffprobe commands take no time, followed by one that takes a full minute, halting progress, with no IOExceptions involved. Quite odd.

    I also have no idea what other processes could be touching that folder. It's a folder I created just for this image, and I confirmed I didn't accidentally start multiple copies of the image or anything. When I was researching it, I did find this issue that's still open where other people are having a similar problem:

    I imagine I'll get through this first scan eventually, just a bummer that it's taking so long. But more so, it's a bummer that jellyfin is basically unusable during the scan. I'm hoping subsequent scans are faster and less disruptive Crossed-fingers
