I have an idea but need to ask.
Do you have a lot of Music or photos or , in general, a lot of media which is really nicely organized into folders ?
I’m asking because the only problem I found was when attempting to play back a track with Dolby audio in it.
When we transcode Dolby audio, we need to use their tool. Their tool requires two transcoder “Notify” slots; the same notify slots that keep track of media folder changes.
On DSM 7, the default maximum DSM can monitor is 65536 folders without making any changes (customize)
If you have more than that, all that needs to be done:
- Get a total count of all the folders in use (get pencil, paper, / calculator)
- Use Filestation → Properties (tab) for each of your media folders
- Get the count of how many folders are in each shared folder
- Total them up.
- Add extra for future growth
- Put that in the DSM 7 configuration file and restart
There is a How-To, with example, on doing this.
Let me know if you have any questions.
