Hello,

I have a strange problem. I needed to change some setting in my media sources. so I went into Files and I have two sources one for movies and one for tv-shows.
Thing is if I try to edit them, they point to two local folders, while the movies one if formed by 6 network folders and the TV by two.

I checked sources.xml in usedata and it shows the two sources are pointing to locas folders.

The weird thing is that if I scan my library it actually scans all the 8 right network folders.

Anyone has an idea of what is happening?
My best

Simone

sounds like your network drives are mounted in the /home/simo/Movies/ and /home/simo/TV Shows/ directories.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Is it possiblile even if the folders are completely empty, no hidden files neither, I am checking with ssh.

Thanks again. is very weird...

I have another file in userdata media source.xml that contains

<mediasources>
<network>
<location id="0">daap://192.168.2.171:3689/</location>
</network>
</mediasources>

which is my nas
anyway still not the specific folders

Is really weird. "files" is emmpty but I still have all my videos in my library and I can scan for new ones... even if the sources are empty too...

switch to the confluence skin and go to your movie library bring up the info screen on the movie, what does it say the path is? also post your full sources.xml.

Found the problem. When i updated i simply imported the database without adding the sources. The weird thing remain, because it kept on scanning the sources even without having the in the source list.

Copies the old source fie from a back and now is fine.

thanks a lort
