Sure…Honestly, I don’t care at all about my Photos or Music (within Plex that is)… All I really use Plex for is movies.
So how do I disable “autotagging”? One of the advanced settings on the library?
Settings - Server - Scheduled Tasks.
Might want to restart PMS so it stops current tagging efforts.
Found the setting… disabled… and will bounce PMS now… want the logs after all that?
Attempt the playback.
Let’s go for the whole thing.
OK, I disabled some of the Music library advanced features in addition to turning OFF Autotagging in the Photos library… now it’s churning away… Once everything finishes, I’ll upload the logs… Hopefully in the next 10-15 min, but I have thousands of music files.
Are they freshly being scanned?
I guess not… It’s done already including a manual DB Optimization… Logs attached.
Your MaxWatches / iNotify value is still out of whack.
If you edited the file, DSM needs restarting OR
- We update Linux on the fly
- Bounce PMS again.
What’s your pleasure?
Easiest method… no one using the nas but me tonight.
Ok… Restart DSM
Synology should use 32768.
If they are broken (haha), we will do it the proper Linux way.
(I will be AFK for 20-25 min)
I did reboot it after making that change yesterday… screen shot above of what I did…
For fun, I rebooted it again…
Back… What does playback do and what do the logs show?
Same… it won’t playback until I change from TrueHD… logs are here… but remember, I didn’t change anything… I changed the Watch settings and rebooted yesterday but here are the newest logs.
You don’t list an nvidia shield, so I’m simply gonna guess that none of your clients actually support truehd, and that your server should be transcoding the truehd but isn’t due to the other issues that Chuck is trying to work through with you, and that is causing your movies to appear to fail to play unless direct played with other audio streams.
The latest logs tell me the Syno is not doing what I want it to do.
Therefore, we will get the 
and make it do what I want.
- Control Panel - Shared Folders - Terminal & SNMP - Enable SSH
- Using Putty (from Windows) or ssh from Mac or Linux
- Log in as user admin and specify the administrator password
- sudo -su root to elevate above admin to root (super user) privilege
- Now copy these commands line by line, as I type them, hitting “enter” after each individually.
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=32768 >> /etc/sysctl.conf
sysctl -p
- Now Linux, regardless of what Synology says, is configured for 32768 directories which it can monitor. PMS will use this number as well.
- Restart PMS
- Let it run 60 seconds and pull me a fresh set of logs.
All of these Jan 23, 2019 20:33:41.684 [0x7fae2e911700] ERROR - [Notify] Failed to add watch for better be gone. If not, something with my instructions went seriously wrong.
@TeknoJunky Correct.
You forgot to turn DEBUG logging back on.
Try again please ?
Debug on,
Restart PMS
Playback the item.
