Hello,
I recently purchased a Synology DiskStation DS1815+ NAS. I setup a shared folder for movies on it. I can successfully add the folder to sources and can even play movies using KODI.
The problem begins when I try to scrape movies from the folder. It gets stuck on "Scanning for new content" and none of my movies are scraped to my library.
FYI, if I point the source to a local drive instead, it works fine. Please help! See attached Debug Log for details.

NAS: ZHAN-NAS-1
Shared Folder: Q
No Kodi geek/specialist so please understand before others reply
Line 23 (from pastebin link) no advancedsettings.xml?
I don't know or understand the log file
But I have a DLink 320L NAS and had to add mysql (via phpmyadmin) to enable the Kodi database to be held on the NAS
I also had to add a sources.xml file (in userdata folder) to point kodi towards the relevant folders and I added a advancedsettings.xml to add additional instructions (like pointing to mysql and watch status)
HTH
Code:
22:37:36 T:3892 DEBUG: XFILE::CWin32SMBDirectory::ConnectAndAuthenticate: Connected to "\\ZHAN-NAS-1\Q" without username and without password
22:37:36 T:3892 DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Scanning dir 'smb://ZHAN-NAS-1/Q/Movies/' as not in the database
22:37:36 T:3892 DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: No (new) information was found in dir smb://ZHAN-NAS-1/Q/Movies/
Do you use NFOs on your NAS?
If not, have you set the source to "Local Information only" instead of "TheMovieDB"?
Thank you for the responses.
I do not have AdvancedSettings.xml setup currently, but I can't imagine that mattering.
I'm not sure why MySQL would matter, but I think it's definitely worth setting up to see it helps. Not to mention it seems like a good idea in general to setup the MySQL on the NAS. I will try this tonight to see if this helps.
I do not have NFO files. I try to stay away from them only because I do not like having any more files than I need. It would be a last resort for me to use them.
My source is not set to "Local Information Only". I tried both the TheMovieDB scraper and the Universal Movie Scraper.
I suspect you have a problem with folder structure - if your source is defined as \\ZHAN-NAS-1\Q with everything in a subfolder of \\ZHAN-NAS-1\Q\Movies then I'd look to that.
Redefine the source as the ...\Movies location (just navigate to the share and down a level) and then scan. If files are named and organised correctly below that, and if you have the proper permissions to list the directory contents, it should work.
I have a synology NAS as well, that has all my TV and movies on it. All I did was create two folders one for TV and one for movies. Mapped the two locations on each of PC's that I use for Kodi. Then all I had to do was add videos, browse and there was my two mapped drives, just picked the one I wanted and set the rest up as normal to scrape. Worked on each of the systems
Thanks everybody. I tried re-adding the source. It seemed like it hung up like before. I left it on over night and when I checked on it, all my movies were added. Maybe it just takes longer? I'll have to investigate further, but there doesn't seem to be an issue. Thanks again!
