I apologize if this one has already been answered.
I have a set up where my SDRTrunk is listening to local freqs of note, and recording to a folder. I'm generating approximately 5-10,000 Recordings a day in that folder. I have it all organized by year, month, day, and hour.

I was using an Apache web interface to view this prior and hated it, I just recently came across Trunking Recorder and have loved it for playing back recorded files.
However, i have a couple questions

The first is, I successfully got the SQL Database set up, however every time I start trunking recorder, it errors out and I have to go to configure and test connection before it works.

The second is based on current numbers I have over 1.5 million call files that need to be imported into the database. As new calls are recorded will Trunking recorder see those and import them, or will I have to reimport the entire collection routinely?

What error are you getting when starting Trunking Recorder? It should automatically connect to your database server once you have entered in your connection information and saved the settings.

Trunking Recorder will import all calls that it finds in the "SDRTrunk recording folder" path (and sub folders), if you are not using the SDRTrunk default path you will have to set the new folder in Trunking Recorder. If you have 1.5 million call files in that folder it will start importing them and will take some time to process the backlog (Bottom of the Trunking Recorder screen that status bar should give you an update on where it is in that process). Trunking Recorder will move the calls out of the recording folder into Its own folder (by default in the "Documents" folder, you can customize the folder and naming structure it uses).
Once all the old calls are imported Trunking Recorder will then wait for SDRTrunk to record new calls and as soon as they are done being recorded it will pick them up from the recording folder and import them into Trunking Recorder automatically. (If you have clicked the "Start Recording" button on the main Trunking Recorder screen).

If you still have issues see Trunking Recorder - Recording audio from trunked radio systems monitored by Unitrunker, SDRTrunk, and ProScan for information on how to enable detailed logging and sending in a support zip.

Thanks, I think there was a misunderstanding to the question. But i've had it running over night and I think I understand it.
I'm using SDRTrunk to record the calls and dump them on a NAS, and then using Trunking Recorder solely as the web interface to eliminate and old apache interface I was using. It took 13 hours to import the current calls and I noticed that a few hours later the import job seemed to run again on it's own, and that was my question, would I have to do something special to get it to keep importing new recordings, or would it automatically scan that directory. Keep in mind Trunking Recorder isn't actually recording anything.

Is your Nas drive static or dhcp?(is the network ip changing)
