Yikes. If you have Google drive or something, try creating a private link? I don't think any of the paste bins will take a log that big.

[Aaran Ellis-Moore]

[TheDreadPirate]

That's an ugly log. I can't say anything specific other than something is corrupt or busted or not configured correctly. Lots of errors and time outs when reaching out to online metadata sources, which might explain why the scan is taking so long. Lots of "file not found" when looking for images it thinks should already have been downloaded.

The only settings enabled on library's are to grab data from TheMovieDB or The Open Movie Database screen grabber is of extractor is off the only other thing i could do is uncheck those boxes as well, but don't no if that would work either

So have had issues with jellyfin and have had to restart again.

my question is how do i run backup so if i have to rebuild again its just a case of move folders back over for jellyfin to pick up

Hello,

I wrote a simple PowerShell script for windows users running Jellyfin, that want backups. This was written purely on the knowledge of the community feedback of reddit.

Backup-Jellyfin.ps1

Hope that helps.

C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin

That directory contains all of your server databases and config files.  Backing up that directory should allow you to restore in case of a failure.

Hi, I'm working on the same issue but have a different problem.  I can see my ProgramData folder but there is no Jellyfin folder there.  Is there somewhere else that data could be?
