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.

It's because the metadata is stored in the apps cache and Apple will purge the cache when other apps need the space. With the 32 GB this will occur more often especially if you have the screen savers set to down load frequently.

I have a few 32 GB Apple TV's and setting the screen savers to never reduces the frequency of the metadata being cleared. I also use Tiny Media Manager to scrape my files and create NFOs to speed up the process if the cache gets cleared.

I have a pair of Gen1 TV 4K and I find the cache clearing happens more often when the TV is the home hub. Probably using a bunch of memory for HKSV processing of objects/face recognition. The screen saver trick does help a bit.
