Problems with Building The Media Library
« on: April 16, 2011, 08:49:39 AM »

I have some troubles with the DNS-325.

I have copied some of my media to the NAS, only the NAS takes forever to build up the media library if it even works.
Most of the time, it gets stuck in about 1% and doesn't continue to build up the library,

It's about 200Gb of data (mostly TV shows)

Any tips or suggestions, it's pretty annoying..

I experienced this issue as well...building the media library for iTunes takes a very long time and stalled around 50% for me...then it would just refresh, start again, refresh, etc. over and over. Never giving a successful acknowledgement

The issue also occurred on the upnp side, but eventually that did complete and gave a successful acknowledgement. However, the media server was initially available and working, but no longer is.

Also, a few times this issue (the building/refreshing the library) has essentially just locked the NAS up solid.

Well, for what its worth--resetting to factory defaults and starting over seems to have helped as I am now able to locate the DLNA server on my network.

Building the media library is still flaky--times out at around 50% and freezes the NAS, but upon a reboot it appears that the library is complete (haven't really drilled down into the structure to verify that yet).

Which browser are you using when enabling the DLNA server and setting the folder? I have noticed some inconsistencies with Chrome but using IE and Firefox have been fine.

I use Firefox almost exclusively.

I still seem to be encountering a problem with the large directory being used for music; the media library build consistently bogs at 47-48% and the NAS becomes unreachable and needs a hard reset.

I am assuming that certain folders or files inside the directory must be causing this since it consistently happens, but that is just my guess. I am just unsure as to how to determine what the root cause is...

I can say:
--That using smaller portions of the directory as a test, instead of the whole directory,  has allowed the library to build successfully.

--After the NAS becomes bogged and unresponsive at the 47% mark, I do the hard reset and when it comes back I can stream music. HOWEVER, not all artist folders are present--the only reason I found this out is I went looking for an artist and they weren't there...

The only way to find out which song is causing the server to crash is to add songs slowly. Copy 1/3 of the songs into a directory and add only that directory to the server. If it successfully adds them then do the do the same with another 1/3 of the songs. If the server fails then you know something in that next batch is causing it to fail and it is not the first 1/3 of your songs. Then you can start narrowing it down even more.
