RE: OSX 10.10.1 + Helix beta library scanning: skipping directories - mkortstiege - 2015-01-27
Hmm. Seen that once before on a mates MBP. We had to downgrade the recently bumped libcurl in order to make it work. Totally forgot about it as no one else reported it.
RE: OSX 10.10.1 + Helix beta library scanning: skipping directories - juramusger - 2015-01-27
Hmm.
I thought my MBA would be quite similar hardware-wise to Memphiz' Mini, both being 2012 models.
Is trying to downgrade lib curl something I'm supposed to do myself, if so, how do I do it?
RE: OSX 10.10.1 + Helix beta library scanning: skipping directories - Memphiz - 2015-01-28
tricky - very very tricky one ...
RE: OSX 10.10.1 + Helix beta library scanning: skipping directories - juramusger - 2015-02-01
So,
I tried again with the latest nightly (20150131-db54f53). No crashes this time!
But sadly the issue persists: new debug.log
This is again with a virgin Kodi Folder in application support, I just added my TV folder, then enabled debugging and library scan on startup.
I then quit Kodi, added another episode to The Big Bang Theory folder, restarted Kodi. The new episode is not picked up, scan for new content on the show does nothing either. Refresh from Show information screen still adds the new episode.

I have Kodi on a Win8 machine and my media in an unraid server if it's relevant.
Huh, so it may not be related to OS X or a specific version thereof after all. But maybe this is premature, we don't really know if it's the same issue. Could you provide a debug log?
If it turns out to be the same problem:
Do the moderators/developers want me to change the title again? Do you maybe want to move the thread to the general help and support forum?
Really think this is not an OSX issue by now as some of the reports on
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=215316 and
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=217278
seem exactly as my problem.
In the last one somebody mentioned having it fixed with a new test build.
mkortstiege, as you appear to be the dev in charge of it, which of these threads do you consider the master so I can contribute there and link to in the first post?
Also, should we (somebody with admin privileges) consolidate the threads so people don't have to check all three for new ideas/special test builds?
Lastly, is there a new tentative fix and is it already incorporated in the OSX nightlies?
thanks everyone!
RE: Helix beta library scanning: skipping directories - mkortstiege - 2015-02-09
No, it's not yet merged. Let me trigger a OSX test build on jenkins.
RE: Helix beta library scanning: skipping directories - mkortstiege - 2015-02-09
http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/osx/x86_64/kodi-20150208-86e3239-fix_readd_tvshow-x86_64.dmg should be on the mirrors in a few.
Note that this is a master branch build. In case you're running 14.1 please make sure to backup your kodi home directory as this will upgrade your video library. You might have to re-add it manually once before the scanner is able to pick up new episodes.
RE: Helix beta library scanning: skipping directories - juramusger - 2015-02-09
Thank you for the test build, will download and test it in the (European) evening!
Any thoughts on thread consolidation?
RE: Helix beta library scanning: skipping directories - mkortstiege - 2015-02-09
Let's see if it's really related before thinking about it.

Yeah, you were right and I was overly optimistic. The re-adding is a different issue and the test build didn't help my problem that new episodes aren't picked up.
Just in case I supply a couple of new logs. Before the first I created a new library (there was one episode in the folder), then I refreshed the show while the hdd was disconnected and so every episode was cleared from it.
http://pastebin.com/iHrKFfCM here you see that Kodi does pick up the episodes when scanning for new content from the show's context menu, I added the second one while Kodi was running and then rescanned again, it was picked up.
http://pastebin.com/XK3jBc6z then I restarted Kodi with another episode added and it doesn't get picked up by "scan for new content", but it does when refreshing show information.
Thank you!
RE: Helix beta library scanning: skipping directories - mkortstiege - 2015-02-09
@juramusger mind starting fresh and using "Update Library" from the side menu instead of "Scan for new content" from context menu? I would like to know if that makes any difference.

It does, but I am not sure what to make of it.
I just tried and updating the whole library from the side menu did not pickup the new episode. But scan for new content did! log
But it doesn't always, on my next try, I just added another episode, neither the side menu induced update nor the scan found it. log
As you have read my other posts you know that whether or not "scan for new content" from the context menu works or doesn't is quite sporadic for me, I haven't found the reason for either way yet. Maybe the logs give a clue?
I hope this leads toward the solution because in the end I don't care too much whether "scan for new content" works, it's the full library update, triggered at startup for me, that I really need to get working again in order to fully upgrade to Helix.
Thank you so much for your help!
update: I decided to run another test with files on my local sad and now it consistently works there. (it didn't some time ago when I last checked this a couple of weeks ago when I suspected the file system might be the culprit, but now I am not entirely sure anymore that I didn't leave out some important step back then.)
As a result I think that file system and/or connection type might influence the issue, I think some of the other users that experienced the problem where accessing their media over local network.
And I am back to suspecting the OS might have an influence too as they handle different filesystems differently. (in the meantime I also updated to 10.10.2 so maybe that helped with the internal media...I'm really lost a bit)
Sorry for the WOT and thanks again!

TBH, i have no idea what´s wrong there. In case you got a minute, please ping me on IRC (freenode, #kodi). I can´t reproduce and would love to get more detailed information to make sense out of it.
RE: Helix beta library scanning: skipping directories on ExFat disk - juramusger - 2015-02-15
following IRC conversation with mkortstiege we think that the root of my issue lies in OSX's ExFat implementation. I have updated the OP accordingly.
RE: Helix beta library scanning: skipping directories on ExFat disk - mkortstiege - 2015-02-16
It's not only OSX.. exFAT misbehaves on Windows as well.
As discussed on IRC i've added a new advancedsettings.xml option 'usefasthash' (defaults to true) to workaround such issues. Test build @ http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/osx/x86_64/kodi-20150216-eee7ca7-helix_opt_fasthash-x86_64.dmg. This is a Helix 14.2 based build from today.
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<videolibrary>
<usefasthash>false</usefasthash>
</videolibrary>
</advancedsettings>I've just briefly tested this so please let me know if it works for you so I can PR the changes. Thanks.
