Solution Carlo 4328 Posted July 3, 2020 Solution Share Posted July 3, 2020 Every library had thumbnail generation turn on during scanning. So we changed that for each library and restarted the scan. That's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbnails ...in the moment u disable thumbnails from all the movie folders ..boom ..finished in minutes . What i suggest for EMBY coders so this will never happen again : After the installation of the new emby server when the user will add his first movie folders , if the user will enable this ..a new POP UP will pop up with an warning ,that is not recommended to do it on the first scan because the scan will take months ..yes months ..That's it . No plugins removal or other stuff ..Only this BTW i check and see many posts regarding slow scan ..so doing that pop up will cause happiness in the world Edited July 3, 2020 by bugmafia007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14863 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hi. I'm glad you figured it out. We did ask you if you had enabled that specific option in your library setup in the beginning of this thread :). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4328 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Yes and the ONE LIBRARY that he posted didn't have the option set. All the other did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4328 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Having thumbnail extraction turned on will not slow down the initial scan. It's the other option "Create thumbnail images during the library scan" that was shown as being off that caused the slowdown. One library (one shown in pic) had this disabled but other libraries had it enabled. This difference is WHEN the extraction takes place (real-time vs scheduled process).

Spaceboy 2485 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Lol. Pic in post 11 shows thumbnail extraction being done simultaneously to library scan. Combining that with the reported slow scan it was blindingly obvious what the problem was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4328 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Those are two separate tasks. Sure there will be more IO but it's not really much different than playing a movie while a scan is taking place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugmafia007 12 Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) And what's strange that doesn't matter what kind of monster pc u have or a monster internet bandwidth ..will still take ages ..

Riggs 300 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 27 minutes ago, bugmafia007 said: ups 2k(2000) movies I asked you the question, because I have about 2500 movies and a number of series plus about 14 thousand songs. Just to share my experience with installing the server from 0, I have had very good experiences with it, Emby is especially friendly for it. In my case, I use one folder per movie, series and group/album and within each folder, the artworks. The task is usually quick (approximately 1 hour), where it takes a little longer is with the music, I put that aside and include it the next day. I try not to use nfo's although they are useful for many people, because if the path or something changes, sometimes it can be a problem regenerating a server or it can drag some errors that they already have. If you want to use them, just delete them in bulk and let the new facility recreate them. Being able to choose to have the arts inside each folder is wonderful because Emby will only searh for text and people metadata.@Luke I hope that someday there will be a way to put the artworks in one place or at least, the people and collections artworks may be able to have a dedicated directory to avoid having to re-customize the collections and by the way avoid Emby having to download people's artworks every time. I'm glad you could solve your problem Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2485 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Yes, and that's why I asked him to kill that task and also to be sure he did not have the option to create thumbs during the library scan turned on. He confirmed with an image that he had done that. It’s not really relevant. When the scan library task is going on for days it’s obvious what the cause is.Anyway....

Carlo 4328 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 The relevant part was that all other libraries were configured differently then what was uploaded. The way it was set in the pics posted are the way every library is now configured. It's the option to create the thumbnails/bif files DURING scanning that was the issue. Having thumbnails turned on or allowing thumbnail task running wasn't the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some obvious culprits - like this option - which is why we asked him to disable it. Then when he confirmed he had disabled it, we were left looking for some other explanation. Problem was it wasn't really disabled. In any case, solved now. Closing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
