Hi all.
I'm hoping that someone can help me.
I have the current version of Kodi (21.1) installed on my Nvidia Shield Pro (2019) version.
All is working perfectly including connecting to my home cinema amplifier etc.
All my media is stored on a Synology NAS drive and I can play all my media perfectly without issue.
I have set Kodi to automatically scan my NAS folders for any new media.
The issue I am having is that scraping appears to take forever, sometimes it takes about 15 mins for the scraping progress bar to even move to 1%, where it take take over 1hour to complete.
I only have this issue on the Nvidia Shield, and have Kodi installed on my Windows PC's as well as generic branded Android TV units, also connected to the same NAS unit, where the scraping takes seconds to complete.
Please advise what may be causing this issue.
I have uploaded the Kodi log file onto the hastebin portal, and the link to it is below.

Many thanks in advance, and hope to hear from you soon.

Seems there is a problem accessing your shares...
error <general>: Unable to lookup host: 'MORTUZA-SHARE'

Hi Karellen,
Thanks for your response.
Not sure what that error line means, but I can definitely access the media on that shared folder and Kodi does eventually scrape the details of any new content.

It just takes over an hour to do so.

I have the exact same Kodi install and setup on other Android boxes and Windows PCs and they scrape fine. It's just the Nvidia Shield that this problem appears to happen on. I can probably upload a short video clip to show?

Thanks again. Appreciate you looking into this... 👍

If you enable debug mode in the log, we might see more info. Also enable component logging for databases and SMB (are you using smb?)

I notice in your log that you have a MySQL setup. Do you need to use this box to scrape your library when one of your other boxes can do it?

Hi Karellen,

I have provided the link to the updated Kodi log file after I enabled debug mode and component logging, and yes I am connecting to my NAS via SMB.

I setup MySQL recently as an experiment to try and see whether I can successfully share my Kodi database across multiple devices.

The Nvidia Shield box is my primary device which is connected to my TV and home cinema kit in my living room and is the box I use 99% of the time, as its one of the few Android boxes that can successfully play 4K content as well as digital surround sound.

I don't really like the idea of having to switch on another Kodi device just to scrape any new media.

The issue I am having with the slow scraping on my Nvidia Shield was present before I enabled MySQL for a shared database.

Any help you could provide would be awesome, as I am a huge fan of Kodi and have been using it for years, and am still discovering new ways of using it all the time (such as MySQL).

Many thanks and hope to speak to you soon.
