SOLVED: media scan takes a long time

[tmsrxzar]

Could you please upload your latest logfile to an external site like pastebin? Without seeing the arguments for the ffmpeg processes i cannot tell you what they are doing.

Also, are you running two jellyfin instances at once?

where are log files generated to?


.local/share/jellyfin/log

if it is that then there are logs from a few days ago inside it but no recent ones

jellyfin dashboard -> logs

log must be missing something, only spans a 21 minute time frame and does not seem to reflect your reported 4-6 hour library scan

im redoing the scan as i added a new library a little while ago

and the logs for yesterday will not work in this case as that was me doing my first scan

i thought scans after the first scan are supposed to be alot quicker but nope

Edit:
the odd thing is the constant writing to home partition as my cache and metadata are on another drive that has no reading or writing happening

fixed it it was the home hdd moving datadir, cache and config to another drive fixes it
