I just recently setup a new Raid 5 array on my Vista PC. I transferred all my movies and set up a network share. Everything was working great, XBMC added all my movies to the library. The problem is I have added new movies to the Movie folder and I can't see them even in file mode. I have unshared the file and re-shared. Restarted the PC and Xbox a bunch of times. I don't understand why only the newly added files are not showing up. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What raid5 card are you using? It is a hardware card right? Because vista doesn't support software raid5

More investigation into my problem it seems this is an issue with my pc. I can't see the newly added movies on my other PC's in my network. I can see the 400 something movies that I added to the Raid when I first set it up, but when I add a new file to the hard drives I can't see it on my network from any of my other pc's or xbox. I tried unsharing the movies folder and resharing it but no luck. I'm trying to find info on some Vista forums. If any one has an idea it would be appreciated.

Punt! Put those drives and a raid controller in an old desktop PC and run FREENAS. YOu will be happier in the end. Just my opinion.
