elivick3031 5 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Hi Everyone: I've noticed twice now on my Emby Server that under Running Tasks it's doing a media library scan. " Scan Media Library ". It does this every once in a while even when I have not added or deleted any media on my server. Why does it do this? And is there any way to disable this from occurring?

Luke 37178 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Hi, by default it runs on a schedule every 12 or 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1537 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 There's a per-library setting, about 60% of the way down, that I think controls this: Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1537 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Ah - two different things, I presume... Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elivick3031 5 Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 I would like to disable the media scan from running automatically every 12 - 24 hours. Can you send me a screenshot as to where I can disable this function? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14948 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Hi. The library scan performs necessary operations and should be run periodically. Will you be running it manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elivick3031 5 Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Oh! I didn't know that ebr. I will turn it back on then. Thanks for letting me know. I just found it weird that my media was scanning when I had not added or deleted any media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
