I have a massive MP3 library, so Plex can easily bog down my Synology for days when it does a library update and gathers metadata etc. I’d simple like a bit more Status information, like how many files are in the processing queue, and / or a very simple progress meter. At the moment, the pages of Status update top off at 50/50 and then keep going with no end in sight. I have turned off all automatic updates except those relating to folder state changes; anything else I do manually. This seems like it would be quite simple to implement, and I think lots of users would welcome this functionality on all platforms. (I run Plex everywhere, my NAS [for the main media server], then players [or non-serving servers] on Windows, Linux, Fire TV and multiple Android devices). Thanks. ---

I will move this to the Feature Requests where it will get more visibility. My DS1815+ is my primary server as well. I concur it’s sometimes hard to know what’s going on without looking at the logs. ---

Agreed. Just like when your pms starts doing the thumbnail creation… You hear the fan go like crazy, but no way to know why. ---
