Originally created by @igbjnI05bF on GitHub (Dec 12, 2018).

On a fresh Debian9 VM, after having installed Jellyfin from the repo, I am unable to get the Music library to scan correctly. Here is a tail -n 50 of server.txt: https://paste.pound-python.org/show/GzsZomKLjz8W2bWvmrJv/ (that repeats over and over during scan)

Songs show up but nothing in Artists at all.

Errors in the log excerpt provided come from this method: 21a8d27378/Emby.Server.Implementations/Updates/InstallationManager.cs (L214)

Looks like it's failing to phone home (as expected, as the hostname has been replaced with a dummy value). Can you paste the whole log? I don't think this should stop library scanning working.

Here is a "head -n 100000" of server.txt on a fresh install, adding only my music folder. Anything more than this is too large to upload

OK, this looks like it could be the problem (or at least, partially):

FFMpeg and FFProbe aren't found on your system, I'm not sure where Jellyfin looks for these, though.

Following up from Riot chat, it seems like ffmpeg may not have been installed.

Installing ffmpeg does appear to have resolved the issue. Everything is still scanning but Artists are now popping up. Thanks for your assistance, BnMcG. Perhaps include ffmpeg as a dependency for jellyfin in debian? I'll mark this as closed.
