Emby continue scanning libraries


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello,
I have activated the "detect intro" feature as per official announcement. I followed the guide to activate the "detect intro" feature.

One activated every option for "detect intro", I started the scan task... It was 1 week ago...
Emby is still scanning 😕 
I see that emby has scanned 'tvshows' folder and then the 'animated-tvshows' folder. It's ok because my media library is very large. Unfortunately, yesterday I saw that emby is returning scannin 'tvshows' , then 'animated-tvshows' without stopping 😕

I think the "detect intros" feature is making emby continue scanning... 


Here is some log from my emby: https://pastebin.com/jiAL9wzf
Are these lines related to "detect intro"  feature?

Hi, it may take a long time. Try configuring it to only run as a scheduled task, then restart the server and see if that helps the library scan complete quicker.

thanks for reply.

it is already set as Scheduled Task, indeed it started 1 week ago at 3.00am (exactly as per scheduled task)

So it's the scheduled task that's still going, not the library scan?

I set 2 scheduled task:
- Detect intros at 3.00am in 3 hours
- scan library at 1.00am without stop time

once activated "detect intros" emby started scan... I'm "tailing" the log file and seeing emby loops scanning 'tvshows' and 'animated-tvshows' folders without notifying new contents 😕 It just loops scanning folders as per log in previous post

thanks

PS: i'm using emby 4.8.0.8 beta

as per screenshot:
yesterday the "Scan library" task was at 90.7% . Today it is on 86.6% . So... maybe it has re-started during the night?! 🤔
However, now I remove any trigger for "detect intros" and "scan library" tasks, just to be sure emby doesn't re-start the scan... Let u know any news about that

thanks

I wouldn't remove the triggers for detect intros. Just disable the option in library settings.

Hi,
i deleted triggers for "detect intros" and "scan media folders" and waited for each pending job to be completed.
So, this night emby complted its pending job, fine! Now I restored triggers "detect intros" and it started as per scheduled time.
Seeing log file, I note that emby is re-scanning all tvshows... indeed it started at 10.00am and it still scanning 😕 
Progress percentage job is still at 9.8% :(


Just a question, to be sure:
Once "detect intro" job has detect all intros for all tvshows , will it re-scan entire library on next job run? I mean: does emby know that a particular tvshow has already been scanned and "detected" all intros? In this way I expect that emby skips that tvshow 🤔

thanks in advance

Hi, no, it doesn't rescan unless the files have changed.

it's still scanning. It is around 30% 😕

I think it is re-scanning all tvshows even they are not changed 🤔
I'll do this: let emby continue "detecting intros" job; wait for emby completes the task. Then I'll manually start the "detect intros" job again and check if emby re-scan all tvshows or not.

Let u know about that ;)
