Scans so damn slow


Recommended Posts

Running basic setup, no addons, nothing on a 24 core 10gps server. 

1.2PB of tv and movies. 

1 Folder for TV is 300TB and yet takes nearly a week to scan in, vs Jellyfin took 2 days and completed without missing a single folder. 

Please tell me how is this possible when one is free and other i have to pay for services that dosnt work. 

BTw files are local storage, NFO files are with the media and on a sep SSD. 

No errors in the logs, other then timeouts with these random metadata api's.

Seriously ? 

1.2PB ? 

And you are complaining about the peanuts of the licence for emby ?  

Are you trolling here ?

Really would not know how Jellyfin could possibly handle this amount....the amount of info from the (free!) providers could almost be categorized as an DOS attack. And doesnt Jelllyfin also save the infos and pictures in the folders ?

The 4.8 server has a lot of scanning optimizations that have been added, so stay tuned for the next release.

For the money he is making with all that the Emby license is even less than peanuts...

Yes from a provider standpoint I do not see how they are not getting throttled by providers. 

But they do have a different scanning mechanism.

Library scan fanout concurrency & Library metadata refresh concurrency - Feature Requests - Emby Community

 

whatever they are doing it works, and works nearly flawless and fast. Was able to scan in 4k movies in about a 20 min, vs 3 hours with emby. I want to go back to emby when i can but the months been pain the ass due to the issues on scanning.

We they can not be using the same providers as Emby gets blacklisted it it does not throttle the requests.  Now if you already have metadata/images then that is totally different story.  As disabling providers and importing existing metadata is 20X faster.   But exact configuration is key here as there are to many options that can tune importing media from a one day proccess to a week process.

sorry...might get a ban for that...

What kind of idiot are you that you think that asking for 1.2 PB of metadata is easy ?

Thats prolly over a million of files asking for information...information that the rest of the world can get for free, but because of people like you will probably not be available without a fee in the future.

I really wish that somebody knocks on your door and wants to see the license for every single file you have...

HI guys, please just keep things polite without naming calling. Thanks.

Not name calling anyone. I still use emby for few small stuff. That doesn't sound take weeks to scan. Just wanted a answer or solutions to this issue. Seriously it's that slow. Not sure if we can utilize the tvdb API and tmdb alternative API keys that we can get on our own. Throttle by providers is a huge problem. Got to be a work around because what ever the the other guys doing, it works flawless

The scan should be much faster in the upcoming 4.8 server release. Thanks.

OT abit. is this 4.8, for beta or stable?

Ive been eager to jump to 4.8 stable for "Subs folder" support and "SxEP0x" support from 4.7.11

Kinda makes me think as I have a server running beta and still slow can't really tell the difference between it and the stable as in scanning

Here is a updated log on one server just doing movies. only has 2k videos in it and not even done yet. Been running since 3pm server time and here is 8pm.. and not close to being done. @Luke

As shown in the figure, it would be better if a separate page can be opened like plex to display the current scanning situation. The current situation does not know how much content has been scanned, and the current scanning speed is also a little slow.

All I see is a user that is hammering provider apis and will almost guarantee debug logging will show throttling required for TMDB. 

So is it about importing media or presenting it with metadata as you cannot have both having to get from online providers as they do impose request/speed limits.
