Users / [Resolved]Pictures on NAS drive not appearing in LinuxMCE Picture menu

« on: February 01, 2011, 02:05:14 pm »

I'm having problems getting my pictures on my NAS drive to appear in LinuxMCE.  It seems like they have been catalogued by UpdateMedia since they appear in the media database (checked  by seeing them in admin->media->syncmedia and looking directly at the database).  They appear to be tagged incorrectly but I'm not sure what tag is incorrect.  

I have set-up the Pictures windows share drive on the NAS drive as a public drive.  I have set-up two other share drives for videos and music the same way and they are working fine.  I have also set up another windows share drive, as a test, that uses the LinuxMCE directory structure.  When I drop pictures in this share drive, the pictures appear in the LinuxMCE menu.  As best as I can tell, it seems to be a combination of both a public share drive and pictures that is causing the problem.

Does anybody know the attributes required by a picture to appear in the LinuxMCE picture menu?  If there is a SQL that is used to retrieve the pictures I would be happy to find out why my entries are not being select.  If somebody can point me to the code that is generating the menu, I would be willing to wade through it and (attempt to) find the problem.

I'm new to LinuxMCE and I think this is a great project.  I have tried a work around (create a symbolic link) that was mentioned in the 710 set-up video but that didn't work.  I can't find any other related comments on the wiki or the forums.  Any help would be appreciated.

Installation issues / Newbie Installation problems

« on: January 28, 2011, 03:15:18 am »

I have successfully installled 8.10 but I'm having one problem.  I have installed a core/hybrid server with a internal and external network.  I have a QNAP NAS connected on the internal network with three windows shares music, pictures and videos.  The core server has recognized  all most of the videos (mts videos are missing but I think I have found the solution to this), all of my music but none of my pictures.  The three share drives were added with exactly the same settings and they look exactly the same in web admin.  I'm not sure if it is something with the configuration of the device, the file structure of the pictures, the type of files (jpg) or something else. 

Any help would be appreciated.
