Any workarounds where real time monitoring is not available?

[gardar 16]

As far as I know real time monitoring is not available on NFS shares.

 

I have a huge library mounted via NFS and library scans are taking 8 hours.

 

Are there any workarounds I can use?

Refreshing in the metadata manager does not bring up new episodes and it looks like the only thing I can do is wait.

Does your NFS support ISCSI target?

What do you mean by "real time monitoring?"

 

if you're struggling with performance issues with NFS, I'd seriously give samba a shot.  The latest versions proved to be much faster for me (and it's more convenient when trying to mount windows shares and vice versa.

Can you share a rough idea about your library size (songs, movies, shows, etc)?

 

I'm interested especially on the music library. If it's huge then you will want to disable musicbrainz as a metadata source since a massive throttling is done while retrieving metadata from them and this slow library scans down like crazy.

 

In my case it went from 15 mins to 2-3 mins (22k songs).

Unfortunately ISCSI is not an option in this case.

By "real time monitoring" I'm referring to when Emby detects a change in the filesystem and can then add new media to the library without re-scanning the whole filesystem.

Actually I don't have any music in my library but I've got a huge video library.

My library scans aren't adding much new data for content that I've already scanned before, so it's basically just adding new content... And taking 8 hours to do so

just curious, why is ISCSI off the table?

In any case you may want to share a server logfile while running a library scan.

If there is a specific problem related to Emby it will probably show up in the log.
