Real-time scan for new files no longer working

PS: I noticed that the other way around the watched folder did work: meaning, when deleting files from the watched folder, they disappeared in real time in Roon. Strange!

This sounds to me like your library has just grown to a size where it reached the current limits defined on your OS. Try to check the limits and compare them to the total count of files and folders in your Roon watched folder. Does it match? Please read:

Roon Server on Synology DSM 7 Situation

Maybe the update reverted some settings or your library just grown to big? You can use a search engine of your choice, searching for “Synology inotify”. Use information found by that search to check the relevant settings on your NAS. What are your current settings? How do they fare in comparison to the total number of files and folders in the folder watched by Roon. Update: Checking that this “The user account must be allowed to raise their ulimit -n value to 8192.” (from Installing Roon on Li…

Note: Realtime watching is done by the OS (Kernel and drivers). A userland process like Roon just asks to be notified when a change happens. If the OS doesn’t send notifications for changes, for example because watch limits are reached, the process can obviously not react.

Update:

Number of Tracks in Library

7,132 tracks

Add folder count and probably there are also some other files like pictures and PDFs … this might very well add up to the often used 8192 default limit.
