Large Library on external USB-C 2tb SSD (offline scan)

Support
1

I’ve been using symfonium for a few years as a music player on my phone to play from my home jellyfin server. working amazingly for that.

I like to boat and there is no service

I have my entire library (about 41k files 1.1tb) on a SSD 2TB connected via USB-C to my pixel 7 for offline play.

I plugged my USB-C SSD into my phone and it reads just fine but the library scan is going to take a few hours at this rate, and i’m confused as if this normal?

will this happen everytime I try and boat ?
any way to avoid the long scan time?

would like to plug in my SSD and be all set for next time

not sure what to do any suggestions would be great

symfinium rocks for jellyfin.

The data will be cached, but you are scannnig 1TB of data on a slow USB port of a phone, I think you forget how long it took for Jellyfin to do the initial scan of all the data.
