i am just running a mini m4 with an external hard drive with these same issues. None of these solutions cover my application. Is this issue still being worked on?
This issue would be separate from what the other thread is discussing so I’ve move it into a separate topic. @Mathewb28 can you please reproduce the issue, download your pms logs, and share them with me?
logs sent. it will be a bit before i can hook everything back up and retry it again for fresh logs so i sent you what i had already.
You’re using an external drive attached to your Mac via /mnt/MediaDrive/ and then what happens? Does running a library scan cause items in that library to show as Unavailable? Does the external drive somehow become unmounted? Does the solution in the other thread of keep a Finder window open that’s pointed inside /mnt/MediaDrive keep files from from becoming Unavailable?
It will read about half the movies in the movie folder then stop. Drive stays mounted. Will not finish reading rest of movie folder and doesn’t even get to the tv or music files. I wanna say it showed around 1950 of my 3300 movies. 0 tv shows 0 music. I tried it with finder open and with manually opening sub folders as well.
Were these files being scanned in before? Are all your TV Shows showing as Not Available?
it doesn’t even read the file at all. the drive works fine on my old system which is a raspberry pie 4.
i bought the m4 to replace the pie 4.
am I the only one having this issue?
You are not the only one.
I went back to Sonoma 14.7.1.
what does your setup look like? are you stable on sonoma?
Problems began with Sequoia.
Went back to Sonoma 14.7.1
Mac Mini M1 as Plex server connected to Synology ds1823xs+ with all media files on it.
On Sonoma rock solid, on Sequoia unusable.
Half of all movies missing after every scan.
@Mathewb28 Sorry for the late response. Looking through your logs and you are running an extremely old PMS version 1.22.2.4282. All the logs are also reporting it’s running on the a Pi. I thought this was an issue on your Mac?
The issue is on my Mac. I only ran the Mac for a few hours. I emailed you the date I ran it.
Right and in those logs that is what I saw. Maybe you had selected your other server when you downloaded those logs.
I’ll set it back up and run it again and pull the logs afterward. I’m also going to try using a hard drive formatted in Mac OS journaled instead of ntfs but I have to wait for the new hard drive to arrive to test that theory
looks like reformatting the external drive from ntfs to apfs did the trick. seems to be running ok and appears most everything showed up. it will take me a bit to go through it all to be sure though.
