I have a NAS drive that holds all of my movies and music, this is accessed by the Live Hub.
When I turn off the live hub it still accesses my NAS drive every few mins or so, this causes my NAS drive hard disk’s to be running 24/7 even when its not actually in use. Is their any way to stop the Hub from poling my NAS drive like this.
I know I can hold down the power button for 3-4 seconds and power off the Hub fully, but this then means that as soon as I power on the hub it goes through the process of scanning my media library. (4TB it takes a long time).
Is it possible to display the movies from the internal hard disk and my NSA drive at the same time without changing the selected media and having to do another rescan.
That’s why you need to look in the NAS log files. If the NAS is keeping the disks spinning, it must be due to a file access, and the logs should tell you that.
According to the log files nothing is been accessed, but it must be checking somthing as when I remove the LAN cable from the Live hub 10 mins later the drive spins down as normal.
Well, the Hub is looking at the NAS devices for changes… I know it’s not currently updating the MEDIA LIBRARY, but it is checking for the presence of a FOLDER.JPG file on occasion… If I add a folder.jpg file to a folder, the UI on the Hub updates immediately.
Well you would have thought that it would work in the same way as evey other media player / streamer does, only accessing data when I needs to. An option to manually search for new content would solve this problem.
