Files missing on network share

[frankmcg]

Strange problem this so apologies if this explanation doesn’t make much sense. I recently moved all my films etc to a network drive and at some point I must have booted into GB-PVR/Moviewiz (latest version) without the share connected. This caused Moviewiz to label every file with a “*” in the interface, which I thinks means it is not available?

Anyway I rebuilt the whole database by cleaning it out and adding all the files back again. I had tried to use the sync archive adding the locations where the files are stored now on the network share but it just told me that xxx entries were missing and none could be found.

Having done this I’m finding that certain files still are coming up as missing in the app itself. If I remove them then scan for new files it picks them up as “new”. I can then rename the file, find its image etc etc as normal. But when I then select it in the app I get the “file not found do you wish to delete” error.

Any ideas what might be going on here? Let me know if there are any logs etc I can provide which might be of help. As I said it’s only happening on certain files (about 25% of the total to be precise). These files still show up with a "*" in the interface, even straight after adding.

Yes,

• some logs identifying the problem entries (ie pvrx2 and config),
  
• and possibly directory listing of where the problem files are,
  
• and maybe a copy of the db if possible

feel free to email me with these if you do not want to post.


BTW: the '*' is an indicator that the movie has NOT been played (in MovieWiz) yet.

is the gb rec. service logging on as a user or local system account?
it needs to be logged on as a user with password to see network shares and hence your net shared files...
at least that's what it sounds like is happening..

Javawiz - email with logs sent.

pBS - thanks for the response but I don't think that's the problem. To simplify the issue I've flushed the logs then played 2 files which are saved in the same directory on the shared drive. Both are in the database correctly, permissions are identical etc. One plays and the other gives me the doesn't exist error.

Ok, I think I've located the problem. Try this MovieWiz.DLL by placing in your plugins/MovieWiz folder.

That's done the trick, working great now! Thanks for taking the time to look into this.

No problem. That fix will be included in the next release.
