oversight scan issues

[jamer1410]

I have recently upgraded from r2006 to r2362 on my pch a-110, I uninstalled the old version before installing the new. However, now when i scan oversight takes forever to pick anything up. The scan itself takes approx 1 hour, (i have around 200 movies) I left the pch running overnight and now its been up and running for 1 day 3 hours 12 mins and its only found 18 items, none of which are classed as movies, episodes or other and none show up on the oversight 'home' page. What am I doing wrong, or what is the reason for oversight scanning so slowly?
thanks in advance

Best check the logs in /Apps/oversight/logs.
There should be a logfile there that you can see what is happening.

Without knowing more from the logs I think it'll be hard to diagnosis... However there is definitely a problem with your setup.. Shouldn't take very long for a 200 library.
Is it with reinstalling again? Also do a scan on a location with only 3 or 4 movies in to do some testing?

ok so i put 4 movies in a seperate folder /share/Movies rescanned and had the same issue. Ive reinstalled oversight and then did a rescan of the /Movies folder again and still the same issue.

Ive gone into log and found this:

ok ive now solved the problem. it was the dns setup on my PCH, matched it to the ISP and it worked a treat. Only managed to find this out by the wiki about sitechecker.

thanks anyway guys

Hi jamer1410
I have got the same issue with Oversight
[WARN] 20:54:49 : going slow? 2615 seconds elapsed
See topic(http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...tid=61962)
as you described. I see you resolved it. Could you please point me what exactly you done in this case?
Thanks, Sergey.

Yep no problems here is what i did:

firstly go to oversight configurations > rescan > site checker

If all of the options have red crosses next to them then you can try this:

Come out of oversight onto the PCH main page and click on setup, then click on network. Check if your DNS address setup is automatic or manual. If its manual then you need to ensure that the primary DNS and secondary DNS are the same, and that they match your router settings.

For my router I found out my DNS was xx.xxx.xxx.xx, so I used this as the primary DNS and secondary DNS, then saved my settings. You will need to access your router settings to find your primary DNS.

I went back into oversight > configuration > rescan > site checker and all were ticked.
