Manual analyze music doesn't seem to be working at all. No loudness/soundprint data. (except for new files that are added)

Excellent!!!

Synology is one of those where you don’t have to think much.

My warnings about ‘here’ were just that “Here in the Plex share” .
It’s tough to say a lot with only a file name.

I know there are YouTube videos which say otherwise, and, if folks are willing to risk putting media there, with care, it can be done.

Trumpy and I, on the other hand, have been on the “cleanup crew” when the innocent mistakes are made.

Because I’ve made the Plex share visible and it’s so obvious to put media there, I’m already working on giving it to everyone for their media.

I will move the metadata to a new location so we can avoid "Clean up in aisle 3 ! " calls in the future

Enjoy

I hate to say it but I spoke too soon. The image that i posted for plexamp with the loudness data was from my desktop plex server. (that was my mistake, the track reverted to loading from my desktop server)

Since I have Plex set up on synology correctly now, is there any way I can take this below command that Trumpy provided and use it to do a full library scan versus just one album?

/var/packages/Plex\ Media\ Server/target/Plex\ Media\ Scanner --item xxx --analyze-loudness --force --log-file-suffix "Deep Analysis"

Sorry to be a pain

Hi, I’m going to set my scheduled tasks to this:

and my library settings to this:

At the time of this post, it is 11:36 PM, so I believe with these settings in place, the maintenance should kick off at midnight.

At midnight, is there any way I can confirm that the scanner is running and working on my music files? I presume the log folder will have something to identify this?

Thank you for the continued support

edit: turns out my NAS had a completely wrong timezone set. I’m willing to bet that this was a problem. It is set correctly now and hopefully should kick off at midnight

Good news, I woke up today and there seems to be albums with loudness data now on my synology server (I turned off my PC server to confirm).

But there’s still quite a few that I’ve checked without loudness data.

What I’m not sure about this:

12 hours for maintenance is rather excessive. 4 Hours would be more than enough unless you have 40TB of files to get through.

It may take a few days to get through all of your music, as the butler has many other tasks to perform.

Does the butler continue to do it’s thing after the maintenance hours? I always thought the scheduled task and the butler was the same thing.

Oh I think I get what you mean. It will take a few days for my music to be analyzed, but only during the maintenance hours I set.
So last night at midnight, I did notice that the scheduled task seemed to have worked, but didn’t get all of my albums during that time…so tonight at midnight when it kicks off again, it should continue working for the rest of my albums?

Hi all, after letting the butler do it’s thing, I see loudness data on most everything now. Thank you for the help, everybody.
I would consider this case closed
