Share Drive - Too many entries!
« on: July 22, 2014, 05:17:29 am »
I have a drive that is shared that LMCE is picking up. For some reason it is adding the same videos multiple times. Also, is there a way that I can "hide" a directory from LMCE. I have since moved that directory from the shared portion of the drive but the files are still showing up even though there is no content available behind them. How do I remove old content from the DB?

I am currently running a Usenetserver with SABnzb, CouchPotato, Sick Beard and Plex Media Server on a really old PC and I'm ready to move it to either my core or setup a FreeNAS machine. LMCE is picking up the shared machine and adding everything to my video list...even the files that I don't want added. Is the a "better" way to get this done?

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

The system is also showing the same video file multiple times in the orbiters and it seems to be getting worse. That is in addition to the files that were already added the folder.lock are still showing. How can I get them to go away?

The web admin has an option remove database entries that point to files no longer available. Make a backup and try that option.
