    Any way to rate-limit scanning? 

    If I add a file that starts scanning it blocks the ability to watch movies or navigate. 

    Can I make it not scan so "hard"? Like instead of scanning 1h at 100% it scans for 3h at 33%. 

    (I've stopped auto scanning and started scheduling it, but that's not what I'm asking about)

    The only thing you can do is limit the number of threads.

    Dashboard > General > Parallel library scan tasks limit/Parallel image encoding limit
    Jellyfin 10.11.11 (Docker)
    Debian 13 w/Xanmod amd64v3 LTS kernel
    AMD Ryzen 5500 w/32GB DDR4
    Intel Arc A380
    OS drive - SK Hynix P41 1TB
    ZFS Storage pool
        vdev1 - 6x WD Red Pro 6TB CMR in RAIDZ1
        vdev2 - 3x WD Red Pro 18TB CMR in RAIDZ1

    Geez, right in front of my nose. 
    Thank you! I believe that will do the trick very well.
