Media Library scan won't go past 71%

[JimSatala77 0]

I don't know what the problem is but my library scan keeps getting hung up at 71% and I can get it to work if i uninstall everything and remove all traces but then its a real P.I.T.A to re tag and sort all my media as i have over 30 TB of content

Are you sure its not finishing? I have a similar issue, where it appears its hung, but it just isn't updating the tasks completion percentage anymore. I have to click server, then click back to scheduled tasks and it updates again, usually showing it was finished long ago. Odd but its been like this last 3-4 releases.

If you're using firefox that's a browser-specific issue.

Oh snap.. No wonder it works fine on my tablet under chrome. Thanks for that info. Do you take acorns or walnuts as tips? I've got a couple trees in my yard dropping both.

 

On topic now, if you are not leaving the server enough available bandwidth to "do its thing" when scanning this can dramatically slow it down. Say you are download a Usenet queue, plus a few torrents, and pretty much maxing out your internet capacity. This can happen frequently in this case. I always speed up my scans, by pausing anything downloading on my network until it has finished the scan.
