ltek 3 Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 @@Luke This was talked about several months ago, others reported it also... After several versions this is still broken. What can we do to help get this troubleshot and fixed? I must force a library scan or wait 30+ minutes. Thx
Luke 42086 Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 Hi, where was it talked about, can you point me to that? thanks.
livin 10 Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 Hi, where was it talked about, can you point me to that? thanks. There are many threads on this in the past year. A few (there are others) from last 6 months...

Interestingly, I rean Kodi for many years on the same exact hardware (same Windows 10 PC AND same Synology file repo) and Kodi's monitoring works perfectly. Since Kodi's monitoring works, why doesnt Emby? Kodi's code is OpenSource... can you please look to see how they are doing it and duplicate their method?
Happy2Play 9785 Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 And what method does Kodi use? Luke has already mentioned Emby requirements/limitations with iNotify. Personally I don't see special development just for ones system over another though.

Personally I don't see special development just for ones system over another though. I'm not a developer, I dont know what Kodi uses... the point is, Kodi's real-time works fine. Emby does not work on a COMMON setup for MANY of your users (and millions of people all over the world: Win10 + NAS). A logical and smart method would be to use what works for ALL users... especially what millions of people have. I dont think wanting it to work for all users, is "special"... oh yeah, Plex works too... for got to mention that. Edited May 4, 2020 by livin
Happy2Play 9785 Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Every software is developed differently and has different requirements. Comparing is not really relevant in my option. But that is just me. You can not compare Emby to Plex or Kodi or VLC or Media Player or any other software. Everyone has their own methods and limitations. Edited May 4, 2020 by Happy2Play

If you need logs, etc. Every software is developed differently and has different requirements. Comparing is not really relevant in my option. But that is just me. You can not compare Emby to Plex or Kodi or VLC or Media Player or any other software. Everyone has their own methods and limitations. ... if you have developer expertise you should know your comment is incorrect / inaccurate for how development works. Yes, people have different styles and methods they use but beyond that you're far off IMO, and my experience... "Everyone has their own methods" -- there are only so many ways to do things, limited based on the IDE, OS, etc "You cannot compare Emby to <any other>" -- really? Same type of software, with this feature (and most others) having the exact same goals. I bet at work you don't say... "Sorry boss you're wrong to judge my work against Bob's even though we have the exact same job. Everyone has their own methods and limitations. I should still get a raise (and not fired) even though what I build doesn't work as it should; when Bobs works perfectly for every time, in all situations." btw, I said I'm not a developer... I'm not. I work at the at an open source company and with some of the worlds best Developers, daily. I've ran small development teams too. Edited May 4, 2020 by livin
pwhodges 2014 Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 You can not compare Emby to Plex or Kodi or VLC or Media Player or any other software. You may prefer not to (especially when it is to Emby's disadvantage), but the users and customers will for sure so you need a better excuse than that. Paul 2

The main devs need to distance themselves from you on that statement. It is just ludicrous. We compare cars.. We compare loaves of bread... We compare TVs... We compare the size of our dicks....(mines huge btw) So we will always compare media servers! Krs Mark A 'like' is always appreciated! 4

To me so is comparing products, just because the other guy does it does not mean every product will. All comparisons will have disappointments. Nothing will be 100% the same or we would have nothing complain about. Edited May 4, 2020 by Happy2Play
Spaceboy 2573 Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 I have this exact same setup and no issues with real time monitor for me. Added a new movie to my Synology nas today, emby had picked it up before it had even finished copying across
