Long guide refresh times on Synology

[pcm2a 9]

Synology DS216+, 8gb ram, internal 7200rpm drives. The playlist (m3u) and guide xml are both on the local file system. The guide is ~170 channels, 7 days of data and the xml file is around 20 mb. Refreshing the guide takes about an hour. The cpu remains about 5-15% at all times.

 

Dell laptop, core i7, 4gb ram, internal 5400rpm drive. The same playlist and xml. Refreshing the guide takes 5-8 minutes.

Any ideas why it is so slow on the Synology NAS?

Hi, although one topic is about a url and the other is a file, my response is the same as your other topic about this:

Thanks.

Are you saying that the linux Emby server that I'm using on a test dell laptop already has the improvements and that's why it only takes 5 minutes? Where the Synology Emby server is not optimized so it takes an hour.

No i'm saying that it's something we can improve in a future update. thanks.

Is there no way to determine what the bottleneck is in the Synology vs a laptop? Disk write speed, cpu power, etc.

It is reading the data multiple times and once that is improved I don't think this will be much of an issue anymore. Thanks.
