Cannot Complete Library Scan - Repeating Process

[zluckytraveler]

I cannot get past the part for scanning episodes from Plex libraries. It has been stuck on this process for over 4 hours, repeating the exact same output.

I have other PAL containers running just fine for some other Plex servers, it's only this one that is having an issue. All my config settings are the same along with docker compose/run command for each PAL container, and so are the library sizes which for those initially only took around 5-15 minute to complete scanning. There is no significant differences between the Plex servers either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is it giving you massive lag in the home screen? I had to turn that option off, so it must be doing that process over and over again. After I turned it off, the home screen is buttery smooth.

I have the same issue, after about 30s, the app exit

I’m still having this issue. Does anyone have a solution to this?

I have 2 identical servers and one is capable of completing the scan while the other isn’t, it makes no sense.
