Mysql server is only showing the 2 databases so that must mean they all use the same databases..

My conclusion is that if the Pi don't make the library the first time, it wont play anything. If i use the Pi to create the library and then clean it from another device, it removes it all.. There must be a solution to this? this will happen if you put LOCAL media to shared database. the purpose of clean is (beside other things) find records in database which do not exist anymore and remove them. so if you attach an usb disk to RPI and use local path (like /media/xxxxxx) to scrape the media files, other XBMC instances will see "/media/xxxxx" in database. and when you use "Clean Library" option from such XBMC, it will check local folder and local file - which of course doesn't exists, so will remove it from DB.

There must be a solution to this? I understand that but all my media is located on my nas. If you look at the sources file i my first post you can see how my media is placed. Isn't that the right way to do it?

Isn't that the right way to do it? indeed it is. is this source file shared for all the clients - XBMC installations? can you from each XBMC go to videos->files and browse the content (although the share source is not needed for scraped database, because the paths are there, but at least for testing).

I can browse and play content from the file list just fine from all xbmc installations. But when i try to play from the movies or tv shows tab from the Pi nothing happens.. RE: Won´t play videos from library, but can from files? - mk01 - 25th Aug, 2013 03:58 AM ok, according to your xbmc.log it is due the passwords. as your files are scraped and added into database, the USER:PASSWORD part is not added to the location of the file. check the one xbmc which you used to scrap the files if you have userdata/passwords.xml file. how you manage the sources file? you manually copy it to each xbmc installation? what happens, if you edit the source file and add to each section <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>? like this: Code: <source> second option - password file: on client where you can't play from Library: Code: <passwords> fast check is to set the shares as GUEST ok on NAS. so access without password.

FINALLY! The passwords.xml was what i needed. Now every XBMC can play, update and clean the library without no problems! Thanks man! |
