Real time monitoring not working

[Happy2Play 9780]

So RTM is not seeing the media but when you manually run a scan the media is shown, Correct?

But the logs clearly show the libraries being monitored.

Correct.  I have just been running scheduled scans all the time for the last 3 years or so.

Not sure then as librarymonitor appear to know about the libraries as posted previously but something is not triggering the event and not caught via logging.

Since you have different library path does it happen on all of them or just certain ones?

Simplified paths but yes you have additional paths to set libraries.

/volume1/Jarvis/Jarvis
/volume1/Skynet
/volume1/ZeroDawn/ZeroDawn

Ahh, these are on a shared folder from another machine.

I don't think iNotify works on shared folders from another machine.

After testing it seems that only files added directly to Skynet where Emby Server runs will trigger an update.  Adding files to any of the folders on Jarvis or ZeroDawn will not trigger an update.  In this log time frame I added Cowboys and Aliens to Movies which is on Skynet and Shared Movies which is on Jarvis.  I also added a TV show to Kids TV.  Only the Movies library was updated.

Yes, this corresponds to what I mentioned above that iNotify doesn't work on file shares.

Does that mean my only option is to run scheduled scans constantly?

Did you mount this as a virtual drive on your NAS, or is it just a share on another machine you added to Emby?

They are currently mounted as Remote Folders on the NAS.

They run on a schedule nightly, so you don't have to run them manually unless you absolutely need them to show up ASAP.

Is this a path that INotify can handle? Emby Server is built with the dotnet runtime, and the dotnet runtime uses INotify for file system notifications. That means the realtime monitor support for a given folder path is dependent on whether or not it's something that INotify supports.

[Carlo 4560]

Nope, not supported on Synology for files mounted on another device.

@wakeboarder141does this answer your question?

Yes, it does.  I guess it is just back to relying on scheduled scans.
