Library scan takes forever


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi

 

Each reload of Emby initiates a library scan, however these are taking an age to run.

 

Version 3.0.5641.4

 

Looking through log files, the scan seems to be getting stalled scanning for files which are not present (leastways that's how it looks to me!)

 

Why would this be?

 

cheers

either lnk files or playlists hanging around with dead links

This raises the question - what is the best way to address this?

 

I realize it is just a warning, and having moved around folders myself in the past, I didn't see any issues assuming they really are "missing", but I would love to keep my server logs neat and tidy.

@ Luke

 

Playlists!!  Never considered playlists!!

 

I'll take a look and see!

 

thanks for the suggestion!

Yep it was playlists!

 

I had referenced some folder in a playlist that had since been modified / deleted or moved.  Deleting the playlist made the scan run so much faster.

 

Seems a bit harsh though...!

 

What behaviour would you recommend to prevent housekeeping unravelling previous actions such as this?
