Bug or Idiot ? Library Scanner not reading entire sub directory structure ?
#1
Question 
Ok I've just finished updating from Dharma Beta 2 Live to a Maverick desktop install with the latest XBMC from the repositories.

I seem to have a problem with the Library update scanner that wasn't there with Beta2. The scanner no longer appears to check beyond the 2 sub level directory for content. i.e.

/media/Movies/ is scanned fine but
/media/Movies/SomeFolder/ is no longer scanned.

The scanner is no longer finding any new video content that I just place in the directory structure. Media that is added via SickBeard shows up in the library but no metadata is downloaded/scraped, I assume this is because the library scanner cannot find the file ?

Can anyone confirm that they have this problem with XBMC's scanner or is it something I've not configured ?

Drop your .xbmc folder and restart XBMC. You have to reconfigure it all but after that it worked fine for me.

Nice one George, I did a complete uninstall, remove .xbmc and then reinstall.

The rebuilt library does indeed include items that were in the previously missed directories.
