HI, you enabled video preview thumbnail generation. This is the reason for those log files, and this is also the main reason for your library scan taking a long time.

If you recall, in Emby library setup you were warned that enabling it would lead to longer scan times. You may want to go back into the options for each library and consider disabling it, or having them be generated in the scheduled task only.

next thing i have noticed is that emby back up is also stuck. doesn't go and i don't know sinds when.... which creates a problem now for me.

beside that everything is working fine, client apps as well.

i also turn off now this option in task scheduler, it was on daily trigger, but i don't remember to play with this, it was always like that i think.

Did you check for each library?

It is probably just copying files.

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred:

Thanks!

every single one.

You've got it enabled on something, otherwise it wouldn't be doing it. And you've got a lot of libraries, so I would make sure to check them all.

i have 21 main libraries, inside those are also folders, but i assume that if i change option in main folder it will be inherited by other folders inside (?)
