Filename View in Orbiter

[maverick0815]

Hello Guys, my Core crashed today and I rebooted it. So far so good, but now I have a weird phenomenon. All the files are there and they play, if I select them via Title. However if I want to list via Filename, the list is completely empty.
My core is running on 14.04. and is up to date.
Any idea where I should look?`

Cheers
Mario

Filename view often won't be populated until UpdateMedia has completely scanned your media.  Once it has done its' thing the files will show.

Hmm..there must be something else. I verified that all my media is tagged and supposedly entered in the database. I let the systems sit there, but until now Fileview remains empty.

Is it really empty, or just a page full of nothing, ie. when you click on the left hand side on one of the characters, does that show you something?

[maverick0815]

its really empty and it shows nothing at all, no matter where I click

[Marie.O]

ok. Very strange. See if the UpdateMedia.log shows anything worth while.

[maverick0815]

I found this in updatemedia.log:

[31;1mConnect failed Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111) <0xb5cb0700>
Main:connectToDataBase Cannot connect to database! <0xb5cb0700>

See if you can stop and start the updatemediadaemon manually, ie.

Code Select Expand

/usr/pluto/bin/UpdateMediaDaemonControl -disable
/usr/pluto/bin/UpdateMediaDaemonControl -enable


[maverick0815]

well, I can manually start and stop the updatemediadaemon. I checked the log and the connection error still occurs.
The log also shows me a lot of double attributes. I don't think that is right.
Also in Orbiter, when I select a TV-Show, though they are all tagged via autotagger, the listing there is not consistent. Lets say there are 8 Seasons of a TV-Show. Three seasons appear in a common container, the others are listed separately and the episodes are mostly out of order there. So its quite a challenges to figure out, how to find the next one to watch.
All of this happened since I had this crash. So I was thinking if its either possible to drop and rebuild the database for my media, or if I will just scrap this install and make a new one.

[Marie.O]

You can certainly drop the pluto_media database, and start it over. I guess, I would do

Code Select Expand


sudo mysql -e "DROP DATABASE pluto_media"
apt-get install --reinstall pluto-media-database


[maverick0815]

thanks, I will give this a try and report back...perhaps even within this year :-)

[maverick0815]

ok, I reinstalled the database. However I got an error at the end:

Error 1146 (42S02) at line 1: Table 'pluto_main.Attribute' doesn't exist

Is this something to be concerned about?`
Anyway, I will see, what will happen now.
Thanks so far!

[maverick0815]

it seems redoing the database did the trick, fileview is available again

[Marie.O]

nice - thanks for the feedback.

You can use tooltips:

Settings > view > file/folder list > general > show files and folders tooltip

Or show the name in status bar.
