[Bug 674837] Re: mythtv 0.24 frontend does not find videos in the media library
Well, you are right. As a long time user of mythtv, I think the setup is becoming more and more confusing, and naming of things are not lending themselves for some intuitive approach. With mythvideo I now learned than I had to press M and select a scan. Than I had my videos. Makes me wonder: why does a backend a scan at its start and finds all the videos automatically, and stores them automatically, and when I use mythvideo, I still need to tell it manually to do the same thing that had already been done? -- mythtv 0.24 frontend does not find videos in the media library https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/674837 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

That is incorrect. You always had to scan for changes, but you scanned for changes in the video manager (which went away in 0.23, you now do it directly in mythvideo). If anything, thats a removed step that streamlines the process. Perhaps there is an initial scan during SG setup that may be broken (i'd have to verify with upstream the desired functionality), but the scan in mythvideo does serve a purpose as you would need to rescan if you added videos later. -- mythtv 0.24 frontend does not find videos in the media library https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/674837 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 674837] Re: mythtv 0.24 frontend does not find videos in the media library
Streamlining is good, but why then not scan automatically every time you access the videos, avoiding confused users? Now that I know that I need to do this, it is easy enough (but not streamlined). The problem got worse for me when after long fiddling without a result I looked into the log files and saw the upnpmedia lines and the table of the same name being filled at every start of the backend (see orignal description above). This line is no longer appearing; instead it now says in the mythbackend.log: 2010-11-14 21:13:38.851 UPnpMedia: BuildMediaMap - no VideoStartupDir set, skipping scan. Well, I did not remove any VideoStartupDir and have no clue what it is. Furthermore, I emptied the upnpmedia table manually, and it remains empty, yet the mythvideo shows all videos present and includes coverart and what have you (nice). I guess some deprecated code for upnpmedia is left in the backend? With this manual scan workaround this bug can be closed. But I really would like to point you to my Bug #671875 report - the duplication of capture cards and cardinputs does persist, even in released 0.24 -- mythtv 0.24 frontend does not find videos in the media library https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/674837 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 674837] Re: mythtv 0.24 frontend does not find videos in the media library
You mention the backend so you must be using storage group. This can't be a regression that worked in 0.21, because storage groups didn't exist until 0.22. I just checked my system (mythvideo 1:0.24.0+fixes27204-0ubuntu0) and it works, so it's not a regression at all. Please post your logs from mythbuntu-log-grabber (found in mythbuntu- control-centre) from both your frontend and your backend ** Changed in: mythtv (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- mythtv 0.24 frontend does not find videos in the media library https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/674837 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
