Help with Infuse app and Synology NAS (alien.top)

Hello!

You lovely people have helped me before, so I am asking for help again. I have everything ordered to set up a media Nas in my home 40TB with a Synology DS224+ to start with. I keep reading that a lot of infuse users are losing metadata on all of their movies and tv shows in their collections.

I am just starting so I do not have a huge collection, but I do not want to keep losing all the meta data as my wife is not tech savvy at all and she will be using this while I am gone on business trips. I only want to do direct play in my home no users outside of home.

My Apple TVs are 1st get 4k 32gbs does anyone have any type of suggestions or solutions on this? They're really seeming not to be any help on the FIRECORE forum about this.

I have a DS418 with 40TB, I don’t have a massive collection, but it’s respectable (350 movies, 7000 tv episodes). I have never once lost my metadata in the 5 years with this setup. I did have a hiccup when I migrated my collection to a new drive, but Infuse loads everything back quickly. Just make sure you name your files properly (e.g. “movie.title.2023.mkv” and “tv.show.S01E01.mp4”) to save yourself from the headache of incorrect metadata.
