Seems to be the same!?

Output of:

Everything is looking pretty normal. What kind of machine is your OMV?

after reboot, library empty:

$ cat /var/lib/mediabrowser/cache
cat: /var/lib/mediabrowser/cache: Ist ein Verzeichnis

after manual rescan:
cat: /var/lib/mediabrowser/cache: Ist ein Verzeichnis

Core i3 4150 16GB ECC RAM. System sic SSD EVO 840.

My movies are stored on a ZFS Volume. However thats mounted instantly - I can access shares via SMB as soon as webgui can be loaded. However MBS library is empty until I manually rescan

tut mir leid:

Output of:
cd /var/lib/mediabrowser/cache
ls -la

blublub: what kinds of computer
@miler: any ideas?

Here is the last log from MBS after reboot

I think the ZFS may be the problem. Maybe we need the mediabrowser service to be delayed?

after rescan, now with full library.

I am thinking the share is not ready before the mediabrowser service is started.

Mhh that is possible but I doubt that. The ZFS Volume is mounted prior to MBS deamon starting when I recall it watching it on the screen - and I can access the shares instantly.

But a delay is never a bad thing, especially if we cant find something else.

ok, thx for your help today I need to go to bed

Another option would be if MBS would re-check for folder availability after a reboot/resume after 10, 20, 30,.....60 seconds before marking the share as beeing "offline".

The rescan takes like 10s, therefore the data is there and probably just marked as beeing offline

Check here tomorrow... yes, there may be a native setting in mediabrowser to achieve this. I do not know it well enough yet.

I don't think it is zfs issue:

http://mediabrowser.tv/communi…scan-before-it-will-work/

Scans on every startup like minidlna.. would like to know how big his media share is.
I think on the startup scan it is hitting something in your share it does not like and freezes.

Look at the picture. You can delete the scan at startup. I read on forums it is ok to do this. It should still scan when media is added and there is a 6 hour scan which you could adjust.

Ok removing the startup scan did not help, still empty/offline library after reboot.

Another workaround would be to trigger a rescan after startup +30s - could this done via the integrated "task option" in OMV?

Sergio, I tested turning off the scan at startup and it still worked for me. The cached info. should be available according to Luke on MB forums.

I will test this again.

I verified this again. All my media showed without the scan at startup. There seems to be issue on his system or perhaps the cache location setting in mediabrowser is incorrect.

Blublub, in mediabrowser go to server/dashboard and then scroll down to System Paths. Verify your path for the cache matches where it should be on your system.

Quote from Luke, "if you disable the startup scan via scheduled tasks, it will work just fine."

This was from a post in like May but my testing confirmed that it should indeed work with the startup scan off.

Hi

thx for getting back to me quickly.

here are the Screenshots with the settings:

Can you give a screenshot of one of your shared folder paths in MediaBrowser:

library/folders and then below click on one of the plus signs of a share to show the path.

How big are your media shares????
