Installation issues / Re: Prexisting media (Pictures, Movies) on NAS

« on: January 02, 2010, 03:59:26 pm »

I have reinstalled the device from scratch and rebooted and it has cleaned up the duplicates and I can see my files now on the MD.  I used the Linux file structure like suggested.  However, I still can not see the files or the subdirectories in the web-admin shown below.  I have used the resynchronize button on the individual shares.  Is there a way to see the files in the web-admin to update the tags and remove the files I don't want more quickly then on the MD?

I am currently using LinuxMCE 810 Beta doing a net boot with an Asus EEE box using UI1 and I have no Icons to use Pictures, Audio, video or TV.  I do have icons for lighting, security, and the others.  Works great on my Hybrid/core system does anyone have any Ideals?

Ok I took your advice and now I can see media under the video section and the picture section but the files are there 10 or more times.  Also where do I go in the web admin to see the remote shares files and directories for the status or description of each file?  The screen shot below is where i have been going and as you can see the public directory is there but I can not see any thing lower in the directories.  Also sometimes the device 68 which is my windows share is there and sometimes it is not. have any ideals?

OK, when you told it to use the share it had auto detected, it then prompted you whether to use "the LinuxMCE folder structure" - yes? And you said 'yes'?

If so, then LinuxMCE must have write access to the NAS, and it will create the correct folder structure under that share, and will then expect to find the media in the appropriate folders. If it doesn't have write access it can't create the folders and thus will never find any media (in this mode the intent is that it will ignore all media outside those folders.... and yes, using this mode, rather than the "Public" alternative is far superior)

If it did have write access, and created the folder structure, but you didn't relocate your media into the folders yet, then again, this is why you see no media, and you should start moving the media into the appropriate folders.

Well I said no but after reading everything I wish I said yes.  I have been messing with the settings in the web admin so long I don't rember what I have done now.  I would love to rediscover that device if possible.  I have checked the NAS however and it now has the right permissions.  I would like to set it up like you suggested above.

Installation issues / Prexisting media (Pictures, Movies) on NAS [Solved]

Hi I am currently trying to switch over from the Dark side to LinuxMCE I am well on my way I have my core/hybrid setup with 810 with all the good stuff loaded.  I have a media director which is an Asus EEEbox (works great) my snag is my NAS.  It is a USRobotics NAS Raid system that has a ton of movies and pictures already on it about a 500 gigs shared through windows shares.   The network plug and play works great it recognizes it as a file server and the shares as windows shares.  The problem is that the directories and the files do not show up in the orbiters.  And when I go to the Web Admin the shares are there but when I go to the Files & Media | Media Files Sync it does not recognized the directories and all of the pictures on the root of the shares are not recognized as well.  And when I manually select the type of file as a Picture it still does not show up in my orbiters.  I figure I have missed something  I have searched all over the wiki and the forum for help so hope fully someone here can!!
