I stopped trying to get it to work over a year ago. This old Reddit thread is one of many where users are asking why the scan is so awful:

That's basically why I stopped trying: the media scanner was atrocious.
- jeroenhd 4y agoHow puzzling; full rescans take my old i3 server less than five minutes and incremental scans are done in minutes. I wonder what's making the scans so slow for some and so fast for me. Maybe it's the file system?
- encryptluks2 4y agoA lot of people mount cloud storage for their media and scans take a long time to traverse and update that.
- raffraffraff 4y agoFor me, the experience was similar to the Reddit comments. I ran it in a raspberry pi 4 and had media on a USB attached disk. It would take hours, giving no feedback as it progressed. When finished, lots of movies and series would be missing, but there wouldn't be any failure log, so all I could do was inch my way through my whole collection on disk, checking which ones made it in and which didn't. I just gave up and installed Kodi. On the exact same hardware and media, it scanned quickly, giving updates as it went, and told me about failures when it was done.
