If you have an issue with a locked database and media scanning failing, Set Dashboard -> General -> Performance -> Set "Parallel library scan tasks limit" and "Parallel image encoding limit" both to 1

That worked for me.

This Github thread also has a dev request for a Docker tester for a fix:

Seems that 10.9.6 should fix this!

I'm testing it on a "live" backup install with a limited library right now and so far, so good. We'll see how it does before I put it on my main machine. 🤭

I have a setup with a small library that I take with me on the go. If it gets messed up, No biggie to burn it and set it up again, esp since some of the other 10.9.* bugs included deleting media files.
