Hey guys just wanted to share something useful I found while recreating my media server. After creating a library of movies it would scan one movie and then stop.

I am running this on Manjaro.

After doing a bit of research it would appear that the they do not support ipv6.

If you scroll to the bottom of the github page you'll see what I have listed here.

I had this issue on 10.5.5 on Arch but it affected both OMDB and TMDB so I looked harder. It looks like this might be another ipv6 issue (like #2350 and related to #1002) which may help explain why this only happens on Linux. Doing anything with omdbapi.com (pinging, going via browser etc.) doesn't appear to work over ipv6 so ultimately I think this is on them for having non-working ipv6 addresses in DNS, but it would be nice for Jellyfin to fallback on ipv4 instead of failing.

Either disable ipv6 or add these addresses to /etc/hosts

One can fix this by disabling ipv6 or, as a workaround, I added this to /etc/hosts

104.20.134.15 omdbapi.com www.omdbapi.com img.omdbapi.com
13.249.71.53 themoviedb.org www.themoviedb.org
13.225.53.99 api.themoviedb.org

Now scanning works again with lookups from both databases.
