Full Version: Trouble with >64MB? files over SMB?

I just rebuilt with 11637 and found that any AVI/MPG files larger than about 64MB on SMB shares no longer appear. Smaller files appear in the list and work fine. The sources are set up using SMB from within XBMC, worked fine before, and show up fine on an operating system mount.

Just in case of cruft, I totally cleaned out my XBMC folder, re-got everything from svn, and rebuilt, with the same result.

Anyone seeing anything like this?
Am on 11659 as of this morning and just checked, no problem seeing 350meg AVI files in my video directory via SMB.
I hasn't noticed large files disappearing, but my file list on SMB was greatly shortened in recent builds. Turning off "hide hidden files" in the prefs fixed it for me.
Yep, that fixed it for me too. Are my files actually hidden somehow and in need of attribute changes, or is it just a transient XBMC bug?
Well no it should only hide files wich are tagged with hidden (Wich is choosen by the server usually).
What distro and version do you run XBMC-linux on? and the same question for the server.
For me it doesn't hide files over 64mb not any directories that arent' intended either.

So if this is something wrong in the code and a bug i'd like to track it down so as much detail in your descriptions as possible would be most welcome.

I need a full Debug Log, preferably use http://www.pastebin.com.

Both your problems goes away if you show hidden files?
@ rodalpho I suspect all those files/directories that vanished isn't supposed to be hidden?

Note XBMC does not only treat "." prefixed files as hidden. But this should only apply if the server is on Windows wich doesn't hide files alike linux
Yep correct. In fact I confirmed they aren't hidden by changing all of their properties. Server is vista over SMB. Disabling "hide hidden files" fixed the issue.
Could you post a log?
Sure, building a debug executable now. Just confirmed it still occurs on yesterday's nodebug build.

Log of me starting debugmode XBMC b11712, going into my SMB videos folder, and exiting. This is with "show hidden files" turned off, so it's missing quite a few.

Same thing with "show hidden files" turned on, all files are present.
May be Vista specific, as it work on XP. I'll install and try to sort this out.

Thx
