Plex server gets stuck scanning a particular movie

Server Version#: 1.23.2.4656

Plex server is always getting stuck scanning a particular movie, is there a way for me to resolve this or it a known bug with movies using unusual characters in the name?

I am using the Plex Scanner for my movies.

Hi trumpy81, the server is already running the latest version. Only beta’s have been published since.

I have now updated to version 1.23.3.4707 but the issue still exists and the scanner is still getting stuck on the same movie, as a result new movies cannot be found unless I restart PMS. The ‘Cancel Scan’ button is unable to resolve the problem, manual scans after restarting do not work. Could this be an issue with apostrophe in the name?

@ProjectVRD

How about grabbing the log files and attaching them?

The naming won’t cause the scanning to get stuck. It will only impact the results.

I suspect there is a problem with the file contents.

It was as you said, I chucked the file through Handbrake and the scanner now gets stuck on a file name further down the list lol

Not to poke too hard but? “G.I. - G.O.” happening here ?

If you repeat the test and result on another, I think you should review and adjust your media curation technique.

What is G.I - G.O?

old expression. sorry.

Please repeat your test with the video which now fails.

If you continue to have good results then my recommendation stands
