One music album keeps causing my plex to freeze up and it never seems to finish scanning that single folder.
Server version: 1.32.5.7349
Windows 10
I have this one folder of music which has a significant number of sub folders in it(roughly 200 or so) and it keeps getting hung up on one of them. It never finishes scanning and I get forced to shut down plex entirely. I deleted the entire folder and re downloaded it just in case it was corrupted or something. I also deleted it from my plex and even cleared the trash folder.
What can I do to add this music to my plex and get it to stop scanning permanently?
Had to split up the logs because it kept telling me it was "offensive"

I found that for the scanner for my library can’t be the new “Plex Music” scanner - I have to use the old one called “Plex Music Scanner” otherwise the scan never completes and just freezes.
I have no idea how to change that. It works great on everything except that one artist. It's so very unusual.
