Synology, Some Albums Missing from Scan - MoPac - 07-08-2022 17:57
Simon:
Recently I installed MinimServer, Starter Edition into a Synology DS416. After the scan there were a few albums missing. The one I will focus on here is in the folder Music/Tests.
The album referred to here is Audio Ideas/Test & Reference CD.
The attached screenshots explain the issue best.
Thanks. Rich[attachment=2640][attachment=2641][attachment=2642][attachment=2643]

Have you checked the MinimServer log for error messages relating to the missing albums?
Do you see any of the missing albums if you use the [folder view] index to view your library?

Simon:
No. They are also missing from the (folder view).
I found out what's wrong though. Seems some of the folders have Properties attached to them like the Properties from DropBox. When I move the folder to an attached drive on my computer, delete the folder on the Synology then load the folder back into the Synology it now shows after a scan.
Also may get the message "Do you want to move this folder without it's Properties?" (YES I DO!).
This Synology NAS was loaned to me by a friend. Where some of his library came from is a question. I've been put in charge of the tagging.
Thanks. Rich

Thanks for this information about the cause of the problem.
If MinimServer finds a folder that it cannot read, there should be a message in the MinimServer log saying this. Perhaps these DropBox properties make the folder invisible to MinimServer so that MinimServer doesn't see the folder when it is doing a rescan.
