Plex has been running in a container for a couple of years. I add media occasionally, but music rarely…I have probably not added music in months…No matter what, whenever I go to plex dashboard, it is always spinning, “Generating loudness data”.

Often it’s running through many different album names, etc. Today in particular it has been showing the same album name for an hour.

I have restarted the container, but it still starts back up and does this scan again. I believe I have also turned off the option to generate this data in the first place. Any ideas?
