Source: xbmc Version: 2:12.0~git20130127.fb595f2-1 Severity: normal The machine running XBMC has a CIFS mount at /media/tunes, containing my music collection. I chose to using kernel-level CIFS over SMB shares within XBMC because XBMC isn't the only consumer of those music files. However, the following problem occurs even if nothing else is accessing the mount, i.e., there are no other programs running.
Very often when I add a new album to an existing artist folder, or a new artist to the top-level directory, and then initiate a library scan through the XBMC UI, the new directory is simply ignored. However, this is not always the case, as many albums are being scanned properly. When an album has been ignored, it is available through the Files browser, but the library does not know anything about it. Launching a new library scan doesn't change the situation. I have of course verified that the user running XBMC can access the new files before initiating the library scan. I have enabled debug logging, but there are no clues. If there's a new album added to an artist, the log will say e.g. DEBUG: DoScan Skipping dir '/media/tunes/artists/leonard_cohen' due to no change I don't know how it tries to determine that, but it's wrong, and the directory's modification time was updated. If I add an artist folder, it's simply ignored. It seems as if XBMC determines that the parent directory (/media/tunes/artists) is unchanged and so doesn't look for new items. However, nothing is logged about this. I have poked around the SQLite databases, but I could not find any form of reference to the missing directories. Curiously, however, the 'path' table in the MyMusic SQLite3 database contains no references to the parent directory or the new directory. For instance, I just added two albums by The Byrds (there were no previous albums by The Byrds yet), and then launched a scan. The albums do not show up, and: sqlite3 MyMusic32.db "select * from path where strPath like '%byrds%'" returns no entries. So far I have not done more than glance at the code. Maybe someone else has a clue to save me that effort… -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xbmc depends on: ii mesa-utils 8.0.1-2+b3 ii python 2.7.3-4 ii python-imaging 1.1.7-4 ii python-support 1.0.15 ii ttf-dejavu-core 2.33-3 ii ttf-liberation 1.07.2-6 ii x11-utils 7.7~1 ii xbmc-bin 2:12.0~git20130127.fb595f2-1 xbmc recommends no packages. xbmc suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[email protected]> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
