    I've been tearnig my hair out trying to understand what's causing this, thinking maybe it was a webhook I have but it seems to be something else. Here's the problem: Jellyfin is randomly deciding to completely refresh/rescan my media libraries, and while that's happening no other scans can occur. Normally, I could see why this isn't an issue however the only way to stop these refreshes is to restart Jellyfin and then the refreshes begin anew shortly after the restart.

    This is blocking any new media from being scanned in, which is frustrating. I have removed the schedule tasks for refreshing my libraries, because I want to control when that happens yet it's still occurring.

    I have the autoscan webhook tool linked up, and it is properly telling Jellyfin to only scan those files/folders, however Jellyfin is still deciding to randomly scan entire libraries.

    How can I get it to not just decide on its own to go rescanning my libraries? Here's a snippit of the log, showing that Jellyfin just decided to refresh one of my libraries on its own: https://privatebin.ch/?09c66f70d6aafc73#HW1dYKWJnejipu7XhEomrisxK86EgG51EHfXBrhy6JNc.

    Thanks.

    Edit: here's a debug log where I restarted the instance, because it was again refreshing the entire library. I used the autoscan webhook to tell it to just refresh one folder for a movie that was missing, pointing it directly to that file which you can see just before the [INF] Refreshing of entire folder appears: https://privatebin.ch/?cbc36c13f5dcf7d3#CoMd9hLxrybxTdiV37qC42FxoepucRhKKmazLXhBcsFC.

    Do you have real time monitoring enabled in the library settings?

    Nope, purposely disabled RTM before even setup.

    I deleted the scheduled task for this specifically when I first set it up, before I scanned any libraries because I didn't want it constantly running.

    Are your libraries set to "Never" for refreshing metadata automatically? Because that log snippet uses the language "refresh" which indicates to me it might be a metadata refresh, which is set at the library level rather than scheduled tasks. I don't see a scheduled task that matches metadata refreshing, which makes sense since you can set this per library.

    Yeah, I've got automatically refresh metadata set to never as well.
