Hello,
I'm new Jellyfin user, and I experiencing a weird issue while trying to add my music library.
I'm running Jellyfin 10.10.7 on Debian 13/Trixie VM, and my media libraries are mounted thrught NFS exports on Jellyfin server
I added a fersh music library that way:
I only tuned the localization in French, keeping everything else as defaults. But as you can see I get absolutely no metadata
In Jellyfin logs, I only see few lines :
And that's it, like ffmpeg stucks and never continue to parse other files !
Of course, files are accessibles from jellyfin system user, and FLAC files contains correct metadata. Besides ffmpeg command successfully executes from shell :
The video library scraping completed without any issues...
Any idea of what's going wrong and how to fix it ?
Thanks,
Eric
