Spencer is back to talk about how to index files when using Mac's spotlight search. The spotlight (finder) feature for Macs does not work when you are connected to a Samba share. This can be incredibly frustrating when you are dealing with a large database of media files on a storage server that you need to index for your video production environment. Traditionally, the only way around this would be to create that index locally. More recently, as we started to deploy Rocky Linux and a newer version of Samba, we now have the ability to deploy a feature called Elasticsearch Spotlight Indexing. Check out this step-by-step tutorial on how to deploy this for your environment to streamline your video production workflow.
