Mediascan got super slow compared to a few weeks ago

Issue description:

We recently updated our Jellyfin server to version 10.11.0, and we’ve noticed that the initial media scan in Symphonium (approximately 55,000 tracks, a mix of Opus and MP3) is significantly slower than it was a few weeks ago. It’s so slow, in fact, that after running it overnight, it didn’t even reach 50% completion. This is surprising, as the original scan within Jellyfin itself, when the library was first added, was much faster than what Symphonium is currently doing. We’re wondering if Symphonium might be having difficulty with how the new Jellyfin version organizes media compared to the previous Jellyfin database structure.

Known Jellyfin bug, try 10.11.1 or do a full rescan or whatever is the new workaround they provide at the moment.

Dont bother, I tried it and its still SUUUUPER SLOW. Or at least make backup if you wanna try.

I ended up rolling back to 10.10.7.

I knew that eventually Symfonium users would experience these issues too, thought it would take longer though :sweat_smile:
10.11 is just too slow, even if Symfonium doesn’t have to sync that often.
As a fellow client dev, my condolences Tolriq

Just updating this, that I was still experiencing slow syncs with the latest Jellyfin update 10.11.2.

Ended up rolling back again.
