Scan my library automatically: DISABLED
Run a partial scan when changes are detected: DISABLED
Scan my library periodically: DISABLED

Disable Jellyfin scanning schedules:

• Navigate to your Jellyfin Menu >> Dashboard >> Scheduled Tasks and select Scan Media Library

• From here you can click the trash icon to delete the Library Scan schedule

Disable Emby scanning schedules:

• Navigate to your Emby Settings Menu >> Scheduled Tasks and select Scan Media Library

• From here you can click the trash icon to delete the Library Scan schedule
