Real time monitoring not working

[Ninko 78]

Hi,

When adding or removing files, the changes only seem to take affect when I do a manual library scan.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Please post a server log.

At what time in the log did you copy something new to your library expecting RTM to kick in?

[Ninko 78]

Erm... Wasn't long ago, within the last hour.

Thanks

I assume you turned RTM on for that library.  

I'm looking for something like this:

2022-02-19 23:34:44.110 Info LibraryMonitor: Watching directory /volume1/surveillance

Or, some error referring to inotify, but I'm not seeing either.

[Ninko 78]

I have enabled it yeah.

I've got a few more things to add again shortly, I'll send another log afterwards.

Thanks

Any luck with this one?

Thanks

No.  @Happy2Play do you see anything.  Other than the invalid user at the beginning I'm not seeing anything.

Nothing stands out and there are no librarymonitor events in the log.  If RTM is enabled on all libraries I would enable debug logging add new media, wait 5 minutes to see if it is added then do a library scan and post that log.

I've tried restarting emby, sometimes it helps.

Another file attached.

Thanks

Okay, I'm seeing the errors now.  You're maxing out your inotify watches and will need to increase them

You can see the errors starting at line and then further down it mentions inotify

2022-02-20 14:55:54.019 Info LibraryMonitor: Watching directory /volume1/Ebooks

Right ok, how do I do that?

Thanks

Create a Triggered Task to run at Boot-up and paste the following code under Task Settings.

sh -c '(sleep 90 && echo 204800 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches)&'
sh -c '(sleep 90 && echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances)&'

 

You can then run it manually now and then it will kick off every time you start your NAS.

I added a line for "Instances" also which you aren't maxing out yet, but you might as well change it now

Ok, I'll try that, thanks @FrostByte
