RE: Indexing QNAP NAS with audio - ed - 07-23-2024 Issue with Indexing It sounds like the continuous indexing process is putting a strain on your drives. Here’s how you can manage this: Disabling Indexing To prevent indexing from continuously running and causing issues: Disable Multimedia Console Indexing: Log into your QNAP NAS. Go to the Control Panel. Navigate to Applications > Multimedia Console. Disable the media indexing service for the folders containing your music files. Here is some script- but likely not gonna work Access the Terminal: Open an SSH connection to your QNAP NAS using a tool like PuTTY. Create a Kill Script: Create a script that kills the indexing process. For example, you can create a file named kill_indexing.sh: sh Copy code #!/bin/sh pkill -f /usr/local/medialibrary/bin/mymediadbserver Make the Script Executable: Run the command: chmod +x kill_indexing.sh Schedule the Cron Job: Edit the crontab file by running: crontab -e Add a line to run the script at your desired intervals. For example, to run every hour: sh Copy code 0 * * * * /path/to/kill_indexing.sh Manually Running Indexing When you add new files and need to run the indexing process: Temporarily Disable the Kill Job: You can comment out the line in the crontab file by adding a # at the beginning of the line: sh Copy code # 0 * * * * /path/to/kill_indexing.sh Re-enable Indexing: Re-enable the indexing service from the Multimedia Console for the period you’re adding new files. Re-enable the Kill Job: Once indexing is complete, uncomment the line in the crontab file to reactivate the kill job.
