Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/007revad/Video_Station_for_DSM_722/issues/71

When I first installed this, it worked great. I uploaded some HEIC photos from a Chrome browser and the thumbnails were generated. I have a large library I am uploading over time. It seems it's not working anymore. I upload a few hundred HEIC files, and nothing happens. No thumbnails. No increased CPU usage.

I re-ran the install script and confirmed Advanced Media Extensions is listed as "Running" in Package Center.

I have not upgraded anything since first installing it and confirming it worked originally. It's been over a day since my last upload of files.

What is the process on the OS that should be doing the work?
How do I confirm if it is working and what could I do if it is not?
Can I force a re-process?

@jbhardman commented on GitHub (May 7, 2025):

I still don't know why it did not work for this batch of files. But I found a way to force a rescan.

I ssh'd in to the NAS and ran a simple command to make the OS think I edited the files, thus triggering a rescan via the inode watch that the photos app has on the directories.

For me, I did this, from within my user photos directory:

find . -iname "*.HEIC" -type f -exec touch {} ;

This would make it regenerate for every HEIC file. If you just wanted those that didn't already have a thumbnail, you could turn it into a script that looks for the thumbnail in the @eaDir folder, and then only touch those missing the thumbnail. My volume was low enough I just did all of them.

command should be "find . -iname "*.HEIC" -type f -exec touch {} ;" otherwise -exec argument is missing
