Hi, i have a strange bug and hope someone knows the solution.

I'm using Yatse as my MP3 Player on my Phone, but after i reinstalled xbmc, I can't download any albums localy (Error 401: Unauthorized)

Same with a Windows8 App, I can't Stream any Videos or MP3's from my Openelec. Same with the Chorus WebUi. When I click "download the song", it redirects me to this link and gives me a network error:

PHP Code:
http://192.168.0.13/vfs/%2fvar%2fmedia%2fSPEICHER%2fMusik%2fArcade%20Fire%2fFuneral%2f01.Arcade%20Fire-Neighborhood%20%231%20%28Tunnels%29.mp3 

But the link is correct, my media is in var/media/SPEICHER/Musik

I found somewhere that my sources may not ne configured the right way. I never used "add source", the usb hdd was listed under video sources and i just right clicked on the folder and did "scan folder to library" If I look into my sources.xml it looks like this:

PHP Code:
<sources>
    <programs>
        <default pathversion="1"></default>
    </programs>
    <video>
        <default pathversion="1"></default>
        <source>
            <name>Videos</name>
            <path pathversion="1">/storage/videos/</path>
            <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
        </source>
        <source>
            <name>TV Shows</name>
            <path pathversion="1">/storage/tvshows/</path>
            <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
        </source>
        <source>
            <name>HD Filme</name>
            <path pathversion="1">/media/3TBPlatte/HD Filme/</path>
            <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
        </source>
    </video>
    <music>
        <default pathversion="1"></default>
        <source>
            <name>Music</name>
            <path pathversion="1">/storage/music/</path>
            <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
        </source>
    </music>
    <pictures>
        <default pathversion="1"></default>
        <source>
            <name>Pictures</name>
            <path pathversion="1">/storage/pictures/</path>
            <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
        </source>
    </pictures>
    <files>
        <default pathversion="1"></default>
    </files>
</sources> 

So, my movie source is there (HD-Filme on 3TBPlatte), but my TV-Shows and Music Source is not defined. Still, in xbmc it's working perfect.

I really don't want to scrape everything new... Should I just add the entrys in sources.xml or is ist normal they're not showing up? Is this even the Problem?

Thank you for your help!!

\\EDIT:
Hm, ok, but links to the in the sources.xml defined source also don't work, like

PHP Code:
http://192.168.0.13/vfs/%2fvar%2fmedia%2f3TBPlatte%2fHD%20Filme%2fDie.Tribute.von.Panem.Catching.Fire%2fDie%20Tribute%20von%20Panem%20Catching%20Fire.mkv 

I have no Idea...

When having problems with Yatse you should contact me Smile

Anyway this is a known problem / limitation / feature of RPI (choose what you prefer :p )

rPi allow scraping and adding to database media that are not in a source with some default path, and this is bad for remotes since they do not have access after that.

You just need to add a source to /var/media with no content and no need to scrape, this will just allow remotes to access this path.

Maybe one day someone will fix this because it's number 1 support problem Wink

Hey man.

i have the same problem on my rpi.

So in my understanding, i only have to add:

PHP Code:
<sources>
...
 <files>
  <default pathversion="1"></dafault>
  <source>
   <name>HDD EXT</name>
   <path pathversion="1">/var/media</path>
   <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
  </source>
 <files>
</sources> 

Is this right? Or should there me more/less?

Not an expert of doing it directly in xml files but sounds correct yes.

Hi
Sorry to re-open this feed but I have the same problem. I have added /media/ to my sources but that haven't changed anything (still error 401 when trying to download a TV show).
Could you help me please?
I'm running OSMC on a Raspberry Pi 2 and use Yatse (unlocked) on a Nexus 10 tablet.
Thanks a lot
