[PROBLEM] Cifs automount with FStab problem....

[Skywatch]

The mounts work OK, it is a problem with using them. I have this tracked down now to libav/avconv.

I don't know why, but things that work with avconv using raspbian always fail under xbian. Tested repeatedly today with consistent results. I'll keep thinking about it and trying ways to mitigate the problem.

I live, therefore I learn!

Here is what is happening.

If I try to convert a file with a .ts or .flv using 'avconv' from a raspbian pi2, it works on both NAS server mounts without a problem.
If I do the exact same commands on a xbian pi, it works with one server, but the other always bombs out after a short time. I have investigated and avconv complains about a time stamp issue. Still looking into it. But it's odd (and very very annoying) that it is such a strange issue.

The command is ..... for f in /mnt/server/*.ts; do avconv -i "$f" -codec copy "${f%.ts}".mkv; done ....but happens with a simple manual command for a single file just the same.

Anyone else notice this?

OK Some progress now. Now 4 out of 5 pi will work as expected. I still can't say for sure what the issue is, but will keep on trying!>.......
