Super slow NFS directory browsing (v11 and v12)

  • Hi!

    I am using Libreec 11.0.06 on my rpi4b and experience a super slow browsing through (just one of) my NFS directory (from my Synology DS218).
    Opening a directory with just a few files (<5) takes approx. 60 seconds.
    I updated to Libreelec v12 and still the same problem.
    I removed the share from Libreelec and added I again then the problem was gone, but just for one day the it occured again.

    Perhaps who knows more than me can check my logs (time around 01:14 am):
    https://paste.libreelec.tv/upward-donkey.log


    Any clue how to solve this?

  • Problem solved: I am not sure what did the trick, but i saw there was a TAR file opend in the log (which I did NOT open while logging):

    Code:

    CNFSFile::Open - opened volume2/usb5/20240604000027.tar


    After I deleted that file browsing was fast again.

    Still not sure if this solved the issue, perhaps something other happend meanwhile.
    Perhaps someone with more understanding in code than me could check that out.

    Forums are full of this problem with no solution...

  • Some morons store their media inside .tar/.zip files to save space, so Kodi has the default capability to read the media inside archive files to create thumbnails and show fanart and other nice things in the GUI.

    TL/DR; don't save/store large backup .tar/.zip files in directories that Kodi will scan for content.
