Previously when I tried to rip one of my Blu Ray disks to a .m2ts file on the DS209+ and tried to view it via the PS3 (uPNP on Synology 209+) I had to contact Synology support as it broke indexing completely on the DS209+.
I thought I had done something wrong ripping the blu ray, but, it appears not. My friend ripped the bluray for me and had the same issues.
First of all, the DS209+ does not pickup the .m2ts files for indexing, but, changing it to .mpg will kick off the indexing. At this point on the command line the index daemon goes crazy and uses up all the system resources:

I’m running the latest firmware on the Synology DS209+, so, I’m not sure what the problem is or if there is a fix for getting these files displayed via uPNP. Very frustrating.
Will update this if I find a fix. Anyone else seeing this issue?
Searching for the same issue the are some support posts on the Synology site which maybe relevant:

The first one suggested installing python and running a script which appears to search the directory structure for mpg and avi files then updates the database. This is a pretty good idea, but, perhaps perl would be a better choice as the DS 209+ appears to have perl on it already. Might look into doing something with that.
Ive experienced the same problem ont he DS207+ when trying to indexing m2ts files. perhaps you could workaround it if you could index a single file manually (with synoindex) instead of reindexing the entire library.
Hey stevenage, thanks for the idea. I’ve got a half written perl script which I want to finish which will do all the indexing for me, instead of the automated indexing in the synology box.
It will simply populate the 209+’s postgres media database with the required information for specific file extensions. I have a feeling that there is something in the m2ts files that the synoindex program doesn’t like, which, causes it to use all the system resources.
I don’t know if the DS207+ and DS209+ are the same, but, when I finish the script I’ll let you know.
