    Since updating to 10.11.x my server is definitely crashing when I scan my media library. I think it's crashing every night when it runs it's scheduled tasks. If I go to scheduled tasks > scan media library it fails around 29-30%. I've got it to fail manually like 3 or 4 times now. I've had successful scans as well, so I'm not sure what the hell is going on. I'm also not smart enough to know what the problem is or how to fix it from looking at the logs. If somebody could help me or please tell me what to include to help resolve the issue it would be appreciated. Right now my server is only usable for a limited time before it fails, which essentially makes it useless because half the time I'm not at home to restart the server.

    =========================

    EDIT:

    I have two PC's running the newest version of Jellyfin v10.11.2. One on my main PC which accesses my backup HDD's that have my media and is only run locally, and a second mini-PC running a reverse proxy that accesses all the same media on my NAS which is accessed locally and also away from home.

    The main PC server does not seem to crash when a scheduled library scan is run, but my mini-PC does. I've narrowed that much down.

    So far, on the mini-PC, I've decided to stop doing scheduled library scans as a workaround. Need to leave it running for a day or two to see if that temporarily resolves the issue. Short of completely deleting, uninstalling and re-installing Jellyfin, this is what I'm doing.

    Check your Jellyfin log for 'Database is locked' errors. If they exist, follow the steps on the Troubleshooting page to change the locking mode to optimistic. Do not change the parallel thread limit.

    Thank you for the response. I do not see any of those errors in my logs, unfortunately.

    Can you post the logs from the pc that's crashing when it runs the scan.
