    I have noticed that my jellyfin server is always scanning. I see it start scan for a little bit then says stopping then it starts scanning again.
    Logs attached. Its only  the last hour and a half due to how bit the file is and I had to zip it to make it small enough to attach.

    I can think of few things that might cause this.

    - The scan library task was modified with a short interval
    - You have an external app or plugin triggering library scans
    - You have real time monitoring enabled on a network share that doesn't support real time monitoring

    Are any of these true? I see that you have the KodiSyncQueue plugin installed. Can you try disabling that plugin, restart jellyfin, then monitor for library scan activity?

    - The scan library task was modified with a short interval
    I have a scan library task set to scan every 12 hours.

    - You have an external app or plugin triggering library scans
    I have no external apps set up to do this.

    - You have real time monitoring enabled on a network share that doesn't support real time monitoring
    I should have put his in my original post. I'm running on Unraid so I have my data share set up in the docker.

    Disabled Kodi plugin and monitoring now.

    Ok found what my issue was. I have unmanic running to transcode everything to h265 to help save space on my server. I had forgotten that I had it set to notify jellyfin on completion of each video. I have removed that and now scanning is finishing and running the way it should. So yes I had an external app triggering library scans, it was triggering every 5 to 10 minutes.
