The library scan took 3 hours for around 6k files. Plex takes much less time than that. There are many people raising this issue for years now but it is still not fixed.

From the logs I see Jellyfin trying to extract images for chapters even though the option isn't checked. I already found reports for such issues but they are closed without an answer.

The big problem for me is Jellyfin not starting and getting stuck (without meaningful logs) at startup each time the server is shutdown. I did the reinstall 5 times now and trying the native install now. From the debug logs it seems like Jellyfin is stuck on one sql query.

From what I have seen, many issues are getting closed because of non activity even when the issue is still there.

I know that the project is done by volunteers but I was just wondering whatever I should invest more time on trying to resolve the issues. Maybe my server specs are just not ideal for Jellyfin.

Athlon II? What is this? A server for ants? ;-)

That seems quite underpowered to be honest. Jellyfin per default does quite a lot of things per default during startup or as a background job. Sometimes you need to dig deep into the config settings and also disable certain timed jobs.

What OS are you running on?

Yes it a low spec server but like I said Plex is running on it without any issues and it can even transcode.

I am using Ubuntu the latest LTS.
