XBMC and External HDD - Tjomme - 2010-05-17 Hello, I am using XBMC for a little while now in combination with my external hdd. Everything worked fine, until I started up XBMC with my hdd disconnected. Since then i the Movies library is useless. Alle the movies i have are still listed, but when i click on them, i get the prompt: "The file is no longer available, do you want to remove the movie from your library?" What I dont want ofcourse. i've edited the video's source, but still the movie library can't find my files. Of course, i can re-import the movies, but then i have to mark most of the movies as watched again, which will take some time with 300+ files. Has anybody had the same or have a idea how to solve this? - davilla - 2010-05-17 Tjomme Wrote:Hello, Ahh, reconnect your hdd ? - Tjomme - 2010-05-17 davilla Wrote:Ahh, reconnect your hdd ?Done that, of course. I reconnected, restarted XBMC, updated the video source. The video part works, It's just "movies" that doesnt update something. (I run XBMC on Mac OsX 10.6, with Rapier Skin.) - kcarney - 2010-05-17 Go into terminal and type cd /Volumes ls If the listed volume is somehow different than what is in your Sources.xml you will need to reboot. I noticed that *sometimes* under 10.6 if you dismount then remount a volume it will take a different name. ex. Volume_1 becomes Volume_1-1 (though still displays on your desktop as Volume_1) - davilla - 2010-05-17 Tjomme Wrote:Done that, of course. I reconnected, restarted XBMC, updated the video source. Would be nice if you said that then not mind readers here. - Tjomme - 2010-05-17 kcarney Wrote:Go into terminal and type Not in this case. It's just called My Book. And exept from that. As i wrote before: The video's directory works fine. I can start playing movies by entering the video directory in my XBMC, so XBMC knows where the files are directed. - davilla - 2010-05-17 xbmc.log should contain logging if XBMC can't find it. Look there, then you will see the expected path and volume name. - Tjomme - 2010-05-17 davilla Wrote:xbmc.log should contain logging if XBMC can't find it.

Thanks anyway. Edit: No it didnt. Still having the same problems. |
