TVHeadend not executing Synology synoindex in post-processor

Added by Jamie Corrin about 6 years ago

TVHeadend 4.2.6 running on Synology DS215j with DSM 6.2-23739

I had the common problem that my Synology doesn't re-index my video folder when TVHeadend adds a recording, so I added a post-processor command:
synoindex -R /volume1/video/DVBT2

I tried running this manually from a shell logged into Synology as admin, and it works, but it doesn't work as a TVH post-processor command. I've had the log window up in debug and nothing gets reported when recording finishes.

The only thing I could think of is that the user that TVH is running under doesn't have the necessary permissions, but permissions on /usr/syno/bin/synoindex are -rwsr-xr-x which should be good for any user?

Anyone else had this?
