Too many files in a folder - "Invalid Argument"?
#1
Hi all. Just installed XBMCbuntu 11.0 to an Atom/Ion box, and I just discovered something that I don't see documented elsewhere. I noticed that the content of some of my TV shows was not added during the automated scan, and that it was only the shows for which I had the greatest number of episodes which were not imported correctly. I did a little trial and error, and it looks like there's a per-folder limit of around 500 files, above which the contents of the folder are ignored and cannot be imported. Removing some of the files from the folder (in my case I just removed all the *.tbn files) allows successful import. Additionally, trying to add such folders containing >500 or so files directly as a video "Source" generates an "Invalid Argument" error.

Is there a known limit to the number of files that can be present in any one folder, or is there something weird going on with my particular system?

Thanks,
Freeze
