I'm running the latest stable build of DCP-o-matic on a Windows 11 PC with my media connected via 10 GbE to a TrueNAS ZFS server via SMB. I noticed that when I add content to DCP-o-Matic, the "examining" can take ages. Maybe 10-20 minutes for a closed caption file, 30 minutes for a pre-rendered J2K, and over an hour for a folder with 6 .wavs (surround). I can only assume the fact of these existing on network storage is the culprit of the slow file scanning? My NAS is otherwise super fast - real time playback for 4K color grading, etc.
I see "Examning content computing digest" stuck at 0 indefinitely and DCP-o-Matic says [Not Responding] in the top menu bar. Sometimes I get messages from Windows that its not responding. If I choose to wait, eventually the files load, and the DCP authoring is relatively quick. It's something about this file...indexing (?) that isn't right.
Slow "examining" on NAS?

Re: Slow "examining" on NAS?
That is strange. Perhaps I can send you a debug version with some logging to try, so I can try to see what exactly is taking so long.
