When I open a file Jellyfin always shows "fetching additional data".

Is there a way to do that before opening a file, ideally for all files?

Which client are you using? I don't ever see this message. Is your cache folder for the Jellyfin server on a spinning disk drive, perhaps?
- @entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org on the browser. Idk if this is something being retrieved from my jellyfin server or somewhere else?
  
  It's probably from the jellyfin server itself. How recently did you set it up? Do you have a large library? Could be still scanning your media.
  
  Is this happening when you try to play the file, or when you go to look at the details?

Disable automatic subtitle downloading if you have it enabled.

Edit: nvm I dont think jf does that. Ive seen that message popping up after the 10.9 release but it goes away after like 5 seconds.

Do a full scan of all your libraries and double check your metadata providers and make sure it isn't an issue downloading metadata.
