Mediatomb wont update it's content

Post by RealElwood »

I have put a new folder named MP3 at home/storage/music/MP3, containing some 10k+ MP3's, there are a coupleof subfolders under this, however MediaTomb hasn't updated so i can se my new MP3's, I've tried rebooting bubba and also shutting down and restarting UPnP in the web interface but nothing works...

I'm using a PS3 to play the MP3's, have updated the config file so there's no problem with playing MP3's just updating the content of home/storage/music/ folder.

Is the MP3 folder and the mp3's readable for the world?

Code: Select all

find /home/storage/music/MP3 -ls
or look for an error message in the log file

Code: Select all

tail -100 /var/log/mediatomb

When i check the permissions in the web interface the MP3 folder is set to the same as the other folders.

What am I looking for when i do the find command? Should it list all the songs in the MP3 folder, then i can say it doesn't.

There's a bunch of errors in the log file, but they're all for long filenames it seems.

Edit: found the reason. Apparently all the folders were empty, n00b....

Which leads me to another question, i can see both home and storage folders under "my network places" but i can't drag&drop a folder into storage/music/ why?? I'm using Vista, So now i have to use FTP but then all i can see is my home folder not storage, which means i have to UL al to home and then move to storage with the web interface.....

Hi
This is strange. I don't have Vista, but it should work the same as XP,
and you should be able to copy files and directories into \\bubba\storage\music directory.

Also when you do ftp, you should be able to switch to the storage folder using

Code: Select all

cd /home/storage/music

Hi
It would take up to much space to explain the unix permissions, so checkout http://www.elated.com/articles/understa ... rmissions/
With "The World" I mean Others (who can access the bubba)

The find command is very versatile, the basic is:

Code: Select all

find <directory to start the search from> -name <name to be found>
so if you look for something in the /home/storage/video directory
that looks like reaper, you could do something like:

Code: Select all

find /home/storage/video -name "*reaper*"
If this command does not return anything, it is not there :D

It's there, just not visible to the world i guess, if i look at the permissions in the Web interface all folders have the same permissions, all users can read and write, none of the folders have read/write for "other" and they're found.

The folder is there, it's accessable from the network and web inerface just not visible in mediatomb..... I need to get mediatomb to update the video folder somehow, if i put new files in the video folder they appear almost instantly but not this new folder...

Edit: It's visible if i use

Code: Select all

 find home/storage/video/Reaper
I messed up, it's case sensitive so /reaper didn't work /Reaper worked just fine, now how to see the folder in Meadiatomb?

check out the mediatomb logfile /var/log/mediatomb
why it does not update or see the new video's in the Reaper directory

I guess you can access the Reaper directory from the mediatomb admin page? http://bubba:49152/

Not in database, but it's visual in filesystem, but not accessable, if i click on it i go back to the video folder.

I've looked at the log for mediatomb, this is what i came up with

Code: Select all

bubba:/home/mathias# find /home/storage/video/Reaper
/home/storage/video/Reaper
/home/storage/video/Reaper/Reaper.S01E02.HDTV.XviD-XOR.avi
/home/storage/video/Reaper/Reaper.S01E01.REPACK.HDTV.XviD-XOR.avi
/home/storage/video/Reaper/Thumbs.db
/home/storage/video/Reaper/reaper.s01e00.pilot.dvdscr.xvid-thecw.avi

The file exists in two places, video folder and video/Reaper folder. Question remains, how do i make the folder accessable in mediatomb, since I'm using a PS3 for the playback I'm quite dependent of mediatomb
