Hello, A while ago I had issues with the good old EAE timeout, however, that was fixed by some serious help from ChuckPa and it was an inotify table problem, he helped me increase the maximum folders on the server and it fixed everything. However, the problem has returned and its always when trying to transcode AC3_EAE. I have done the delete easyaudio encoder folder and restart the server which fixes the problem for a time then it returns, checking the logs I don’t get any inotify table errors so I’m pretty sure it’s not that this time. I’m using a Synology DS3617xs, and the plex install is a package install, I’m not using docker to install it. All permissions are set to read/write as far as I can tell. I have seen people say about doing chmod 777 but I’m not really sure how or if that is possible in the Synology operating system.
I have just done a “Delete Easyaudio encoder” and restart my Nas drive to get it up and running again so don’t have any logs with the EAE errors at the moment.
Is anyone able to shed some light on why i might be getting these errors again?
Side notes:-
I have run the script provided by ChuckPa again to increase the inotify table
DSM is the latest version (6.2.4-25556)
Plex is the latest version (1.23.5.4841-6000(
I have not seen any inotify errors in the console
Deleting Easy Audio Encoder and restarting DSM seems to fix the issue for a while
I have also just changed the transcode directory in plex to a different folder on the same volume
“Transcode Folder 1” to see if that helps.

So does that mean the inotify table is full again? i re ran the script we used the last time as you mentioned that when DSM 7.0 released i would need to, so i ran it incase a DSM update had caused it. the script i used was:-
"# Remove any previous s2s_watches_max entries (avoid clutter)
sed -i ‘s/^s2s_watches_max=.$//’ /etc/synoinfo.conf
sed -i 's/^s2s_watches_max=.$//’ /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf
This is an example only. Use your actual result below to add the new value
yea I messed the math up the first time, and included a decimal as well, which made you lol at me as it would have played havoc with the server.
“May I ask where 77004 came from?
Did I miss something?”
but after our discussion you also said " then 77004 would not be an issue.
However, the fraction 77004.8 you showed above would probably drive it crazy and it sounds like it did! lol"
haha, right so if i change the value to 131072 now and then run the script and then restart and capture the logs again?
Plex does not watch photo’s These are the file counts in my “video” and “music” volumes plex watches, if the value should be “32768” which is lower than “77004” why is it causing inotify errors?
I checked those second logs myself and i see its still reporting
“Jul 23, 2021 01:46:06.153 [0x7efca9548b38] ERROR - [Notify] Failed to add watch for “/volume2/video/UHD Content/4K Tv Shows/Stranger Things/Season 1” (28: No space left on device)”
The synology is a DS3617xs which has 16gb RAM.
Task: Increase Linux Notify table for Plex
User defined script :
# Remove any previous s2s_watches_max entries (avoid clutter)
sed -i 's/^s2s_watches_max=.*$//' /etc/synoinfo.conf
sed -i 's/^s2s_watches_max=.*$//' /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf
# This is an example only. Use your actual result below to add the new value
echo 's2s_watches_max=131072' >> /etc/synoinfo.conf
echo 's2s_watches_max=131072' >> /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf
Ok, will restart now, however the value of 77004 is still higher than 32768 and i have restarted the system since running the original script you gave me to apply the value of 77004?
Seems to have fixed the issue again, I watched the console running on boot up and didn’t see “No space left on device” this time when it seemed to finish.
two questions then, Firstly why did it work as 77004 for like 10 months? and secondly why does it only show tv shows in those logs and not movies for the notify table?
All the tv shows load without issue again now don’t they? but it shows in the log :-
"Jul 23, 2021 01:46:05.066 [0x7efca9548b38] DEBUG - [Notify] Now watching “/volume2/video/Documentaries Tv Shows/Ancient Impossible (2015)/Season 1”
Just wondered why it didn’t show movies in this way when you restard PMS?
When you say “definded” you mean added the movies folder to plex before tv shows? if so i have no clue it was many years ago haha.
