Problem adding Music Library

[dranderson402 31]

I'm having a problem adding my music library. The scan gets stuck at 52% and never finishes. I've left it over night and the next day it was still at 52%.

 

I have a fairly large music library of about 7,000 files that are all tagged and filed in the Artist > Album > FileName structure. Do I need to split up my files temporarily so it can scan smaller chunks?

It's not the size of your library, I have 64,000 tracks in mine and it's fine. Anything in the logs?

Hi,

Can you try disabling some music metadata services under the server dashboard -> metadata? I think the problem might be related to them.thanks.

I haven't checked the logs. I'll try again and look.

 

As for the metadata, I only have whatever the deafaults are from the install. But I will look and see about disabling some.

Trying again now. It's been running for about 25 minutes or so and it's actually up to 65.5%. I looked in the logs and I don't seem to see any errors other than this one which is repeated many times.

 

Error App: Error getting response from http://172.16.254.3:6547/getDeviceDesc

 

I don't even use that IP subnet.

Well, it was stuck at 65.7% for over an hour. I tried to open the log file but my system was extremely slow to respond so I tried to stop the scan. The scan said it was stopping for another 30 minutes so I then tried to stop the emby service. My system quickley became unresponsive so I attempted to reboot it. Problem is I was doing all this remotely via VNC and now the system hasn't returned. So it will have to wait till I get home from work and hard boot it.
