SOLVED: Scan media library stuck at 0.0% and playback stops at random.

This is not solved. I accidently marked your reply as a solution. Can you please mark it as not solved OR let me know how i can revert it back?

I have made this mistake and there is no way to unsolve a post in myBB.  Even for a mod.

WiFi signal is very good. I can use my tab with and browse other websites without any issues right next to the TV when i have these playback issues. As noted in my previous reply, there are two error messages that come up in the log everytime i have these issues:

Code:

[2024-04-26 21:10:30.921 +10:00] [WRN] Library folder "/var/lib/jellyfin/data/playlists" is inaccessible or empty, skipping
[2024-04-26 21:10:42.436 +10:00] [WRN] Library folder "/var/lib/jellyfin/data/playlists" is inaccessible or empty, skipping
[2024-04-26 21:11:18.882 +10:00] [INF] Sending ForceKeepAlive message to 2 inactive WebSockets.
[2024-04-26 21:11:19.383 +10:00] [INF] Sending ForceKeepAlive message to 2 inactive WebSockets.

These messages are harmless (I think), but the playlists folder should not be in a library.  If you have not done so already, remove that folder from whatever library it is a part of.  If you've already removed the playlist folder from your library, let me know and we can work that angle.  Though I'm not sure why this would cause the issue you are describing.

AND

Code:

[2024-04-26 21:19:29.564 +10:00] [ERR] Error processing request: "Unexpected end of request content". URL "POST" "/Sessions/Playing/Progress".

When i try to access the webUI i get the below error message (see attached image). asthough the server is not reachable. however ping and SSH works and checkings systemctl status jellyfin says that the service is running.

This is a client side issue.  The server is reporting that the client unexpectedly ended the request.  Which is why I asked about WIFI signal.

Thank you.  i found a similar issue to mine. I have left a comment there. Hope it gets resolved before the stable release.

hmm strange. this folder is not part of any library. I only have 'Movies' and 'shows' that I added. Jellyfin created a 'Collections' library and grouped a movies in it. "/var/lib/jellyfin/data/playlists" is not part of any library.
How can i fix this?

I don't think it is causing any issues and wouldn't worry about. I've seen other people have phantom libraries from past mistakes or something. The only solution I recall was to start over or start deleting libraries and re-adding them.
