⏳ Processing Time – What to Expect

Every operation in JEMM — whether login process, generating reports, exporting metadata, or applying bulk changes — requires communication with your Jellyfin server. Because of this, processing time may vary depending on several factors:

  • 📚 Size of your Jellyfin instance (number of libraries and items)
  • ⚙️ Performance of the Jellyfin server and its APIs
  • 🖥️ Hardware resources behind the Jellyfin server (CPU, memory, disk speed)
  • 🌐 Network latency between JEMM and the Jellyfin server
  • 🔄 Complexity of the requested operation

These variables mean that some tasks may complete in seconds, while others — especially on large setups — may take longer.

To keep the experience smooth and transparent, JEMM displays a friendly wait window during processing. This lets you know the system is working and helps prevent interruptions while your request is being handled.
