Seems right. I disabled all the scrapers of everything, and it still takes the same time. Sometimes it takes a few seconds to add 20 episodes. Sometimes 1 sticks for a few minutes.

Maybe I just need to delete some files.

I'll keep messing with it.

Thanks so much for the assist!
------------------------------
Note: Disabling all of my laptop power settings to keep it on made a difference as well. I let it run all night and all files got scraped.

Just want to add that after experiencing the same issues as you with super long initial scans and losing everything if I shut down the laptop, I disabled all the scrapers and also disabled the scraping of meta data.

After that, EMM very quickly added my entire TV Show library into the database (80 shows, ~1500 episodes in about 5 minutes). I closed EMM, allowing it to cancel all processes on it's own, then restarted EMM and all the shows were there with whatever existing fields were previously scraped from Medusa and KODI. I then turned back on all the scrapers I wanted to scrape from through EMM (and the meta data as well) and rescraped the library a chunk at a time until I was satisfied with the time it took and then let it run overnight.

Hope this helps somebody else!
