If this needs to be moved, please advise, figured this was the best place to ask the broad base question.
As I have been developing the Madnox skin, there have been multiple twists and turns and one of the final hooks problems I have is on my personal system which is not unique to the Kodi device accessing the NAS (Synology 918+) with 4 10TB drives running their file format BRFS (I think that is that is what it’s called).
@Karellen offered some feedback but we have not yet solved the issue. When I run Nexus 20.5 from any of my devices, Windows 10 i7 laptop with 2.4Gbps link to AX router, my office machine (Mesh Asus network), my FireTV cube, and other various Win10 devices, Nexus took about 1.5 hours to complete 1394 movies. I found that I had video thumbnails turned ond during scan, turned that off, down to 38 minutes.
With the latest Omega, the thing is a complete dog, between 10-15 seconds scan of EACH file from the NAS and most times, parses about 15-20 Movies and then crashes.
We have tried a clean install, no add-ons, still the same result. My data drive is showing 100% utilization and it just never finishes. All of this is seen in my thread here so I don’t have to rehash it:

I am now in my trailer and I have a TP-link router AC1750 and running Omega x32 and x64 as portable and ran tests and they both ran and completed fairly thee quick:
x32 Omega
2024-05-17 20:03:53.942 T:10224 info <general>: VideoInfoScanner: Starting scan ..
2024-05-17 20:05:22.799 T:10224 info <general>: VideoInfoScanner: Finished scan. Scanning for video info took 88860 ms
x64 Omega
2024-05-17 20:42:48.339 T:12364 info <general>: VideoInfoScanner: Starting scan ..
2024-05-17 20:44:10.640 T:12364 info <general>: VideoInfoScanner: Finished scan. Scanning for video info took 82305 ms
But this is only 40 ish movies, but the point is, it was scanning as fast as Nexus and doesn’t crash in that configuration (TP-Link router with USB drive attached).
The Synology NAS only holds the files as a mapped network drive storage and serves no other purpose but to act as a file storage host. No MariaDB, non of that, just files stored there, other devices have Kodi installed and pointed to their location and scanned from there.
I did some basic tests, and Nexus works without issue, every time, as soon as I switch to Omega, it never completes and is dog slow scanning. ALL of my files, artwork is using the local scraper only as I use Media Companion for all of my scraping needs and NFO generation.
So clearly it seems there is a Synology problem, but I when I transfer files via windows explorer to move the files from the local machine to the NAS, I get full BW transfer of like 110-133MB/s which is the full 1Gbps the router is capable of (GT-AXE11000). So it isn’t a network clog, see other thread about Nexus BW vs. Omega BW, not even close to equal rates of BW.
So any idea what could be going on with this Synology device that would cause Nexus to work but Omega to fail miserably?
These are all running in portable mode, which shouldn’t be an issue, and my normal install has the same issues not in portable mode.
The logs are listed in thread linked above, and to note, sometimes it crashes with no log data at all. The crash logs (using WinDbg) show language invoker to be part of the problem, but with a clean base install, not clear where to even start.
Lots of info, but hopefully this might give enough to figure out, try this, try that.
Been working with MikeSilvo and he has been beating this up with me, not sure what to do or how to fix…. hoping someone has some insight that I’m missing.
Thank you,
Chris
