ItemsByName folder structure

[lolwut 16]

Hi,

 

Can one of the devs explain the differences between ItemsByName folder structure to ImagesByName folder structure.

 

And thus provide the equivalent page to http://community.mediabrowser.tv/permalinks/1203/what-is-the-imagesbyname-folder-and-how-does-it-work for MediaBrowser3.

 

Thanks

There is no ItemsByName folder.

 

Did you check the KB here? In case it's not up yet, I have a write-up on github:

 

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser/wiki/Images-by-name

It is right here in the KB.  And a search for "ImagesByName" brought me right to it.

Yeah I found my answer but not there.

Here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser/wiki/Items-by-name

Server expects a Persons folder instead of People. 

If there is none it crashes (Assumption of why it crashed, no definite)

 

Thanks

That is not the article i linked you to. And the server will create the folder if not present. if it's crashing, please post a log of that.

Yeah you were right, It was not a solution.

 

Server managed to download some new items there right before I renamed it to Persons, so I mistook that as It worked.

 

Anyway, what happened was you are now creating alphabetical folders for People

 

-People

---A

------Asdasdasd

 

and my harddisk got corrupted while creation of H folder which caused all thing to crash. Not MediaBrowser's fault.

 

Created folder structure again (according to links you sent) somewhere else and copied without including corrupt part and It Works Now. Thanks for all the help.

 

FYI: Log shows:

 

everything normal

a seperate log file afterward with just

than another one where everything is normal again.

 

 

PS.

 

It is right here in the KB.  And a search for "ImagesByName" brought me right to it.

 

Yeah I searched as "images by name" and that is why it was not showed that one. My mistake
