silver_2000 3 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Looking for some help understanding what a typical time to scan a library with 2026 folders and approx 13 tb of media Media is stored on DS1819+ and emby is running on a dual processor windows workstation with gigabyte connection between them. Its been scanning for 48 hours and still going. Looking for ideas of what is expected and what can be done to improve the speed ? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5061 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 It takes a long time, but when I do a clean install I always turn off the library setting to generate thumbnails. Once everything is up and running, you can put that setting on again and just run a manual extraction at your convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver_2000 3 Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 the folders already contained thumbnails and nfo files - we are migrating from running EMBY on the synology to running same library on windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37272 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 How many Emby libraries did you create? What metadata fetchers and image fetchers are enabled on each one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver_2000 3 Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 32 libraries the media and images should be already in the media folders already on eth nas - just need to readd them to the DB TheTVDB FanArt TheMovieDb scan is done took 2-3 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8361 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 That is the thing as all items still somewhat get queried from providers even if you have images and metadata with media. On a rebuild I disable all providers and import my existing metadata then enable providers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 What @Happy2Play said makes for quick loading. The downside for you is having to edit 32 libraries to turn everything off then back on again after it's done. You can make this a bit easier by installing the Server Backup Config Plugin, setting it up and taking a backup of your configuration right before you edit those 32 libs. That would allow you to just restore the library settings quickly after it's done loading everything. That a whole lot of libraries for 13TB of media. I've got about 6 for hundreds of TBs as I think having only 1 Movie, 1 TV Show, is easiest to navigate. Or maybe I'm lazy and just don't want to think to much at the home screen.

Or just kill server machine internet connection completely, that'll prevent it to scrape anything, that's how I do it instead of repeatedly ticking each library. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
