braddles69 7 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hi, I am on the latest releases of beta for MB3 server and classic, and just realised yesterday, that my boxsets collection are no longer showing the movies within each folder. This used to be okay, and since I haven't checked for about a month am unsure when it changed. My structure is \\server\boxsets\alien\alien 3 (shortcut) \aliens (shortcut) etc all shortcuts point to the general location of my movies ie \server\movies\alien 3 when I first implemented the boxset structure I found the collection.xml generated by MCM interfered in the MB3 scan so that I could see the top tier folder with images but it showed as empty for actual movies (the shortcuts). I removed all the collection.xml's and the scans worked fine. Can anybody point me in the right direction to solving this? Is there a new structure I should be using etc? Thanks in advance Brad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37062 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 what do you see in the web client? can you post a screenshot of an example? Does your path have this \\server\boxsets\alien [boxset] You either need [boxset] or you need a collection.xml inside the folder in order to be considered a boxset. Also, in your media folder setup, what folder type is this configured as? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braddles69 7 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the reply luke, see screenshot of 2001 boxset (I renamed to 2001 & 2010 [boxset]), it now shows as collection under type but shows 0 movies, while my others I have yet to rename show simply as a folder. In the media folder setup the whole collection is configured as a collection type. I should add this is the first time I have seen coverart treat the initial folder with a "boxset" label on the side of the image, has up until now been a "H264" generic from the movies inside I believe. My folder structure is as you stated \server\boxsets\2001 & 2010 [boxset] Thanks again for the quick reply and let me know if I need to give you anything else. I have only changed the 2001 & 2010 folder to boxset whilst the others have remained the same for testing purposes.

Luke 37062 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 is \server\movies\ also part of your library? the path in the shortcut file must exactly match a movie path in your library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braddles69 7 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Yes, server\movies\2001 etc are all in my movies path folder Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWorkz 7 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I am also experiencing the same problem since the latest server update with my Boxsets. I've gone through and double-checked all my link paths are UNC paths and have access. Mine are setup like \\192.168.x.x\videos\Movies [boxsets]\Aliens Collection [boxset]\ alien 3 (shortcut) Colleciton.xml folder.jpg etc...

braddles69 7 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 okay but having trouble capturing the whole screen as my library is quite extensive, here shows the boxsets in their order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37062 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 can you also post a server log that includes browsing to the location in the web client. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagali 62 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I wonder if it's just boxset shortcuts that stopped working? All my boxsets are displaying properly, except for Iron Man. It should show (and did previously) Iron Man 1, 2, 3, and 3 (3D). The 3D version is the only one that uses a UNC shortcut, and that movie is not appearing now. The non-3D versions (not shortcuts) are all 3 listing correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braddles69 7 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Yep...here's the log https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_6qLrpWrZlFM1BxQWNmVTZ1NVk/edit?usp=sharing cheers Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit 5 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Yep it seems to be only shortcuts, although with mine shortcuts for any folder with a DVD in it is still showing up. Have tried a symlink and that fixes the problem, but symlinks are a bugger if you have a few to do. So if this isn't going to be a long term problem I might wait a bit first.

Danee 57 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I see the same thing happening, some boxset are missing one or more movies. I checked the shortcuts (made by the automatic boxsets plugin) and for the ones that are missing the files in the shortlink file are missing: A present boxset member has: \\server\videos\cars (2006)\cars.mp4 In it's link file and a missing boxset member only has: \\server\videos\cars 2 (2011) In it's link file. In my situation I can fix it by deleting the link files and have the plugin rescan for boxsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragico 11 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi, thank you for your work. I did upgrade the server After that, the movies which are in my boxsets are no longer shown in the correct order as before the upgrade took place. This happens only in mbc, whilst in mbt everything is perfect. Just to let you know. I like you very much. Apologise for my english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37062 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 We'll have a follow-up release to address quirks with the new beta and this will be fixed with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernst 29 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 @@ebr, Ok, I see your point. Will wait and see what you guys will come up with. I was merely trying to understand and to be honest, it's not a biggy (can do manual adjustments in the autoboxset folders anyway) Thanks for the explanation though.

ebr 14912 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 That has to do with the plug-in and how it creates it's links. It was a design decision to not show multiple copies of the same film in the set. Unfortunately, it isn't an easy decision to change because the file we create is named as the name of the film so this would have to change which means all current ones wouldn't work which means there would have to be some sort of migration. We are about to look at enhancing our support for sets in the core and this may change how this plug-in works completely so I'm holding off on any changes until we finish the core work.

circuit 5 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Just installed the new server update and it appears to be picking up all my movies again , haven't time to check them all yet but haven't found any missing. Thanks for the quick fix guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernst 29 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Don't know if this can be considered a hijack of the post, but I'll do it anyway I have an issue with the controll over the content of the boxsets (using AutoBoxSets). Let me explain: I have both movies (in collection/library "movies") and offline (containing offline DVD's) In some instances I have the same film twice (one in my DVD collection and one on my harddrive). When the auto boxset is created the (offline) DVD is picked and the harddrive one is omitted. I would like to either see both within the boxset or be able to choose from which library collection the boxsets are being generated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braddles69 7 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks Luke, after the upgrade I see my boxset movies (the shortcuts) again, however the server continues to take 3-4 minutes to load each time I start the HTPC. This shouldn't be the case should it with core i5 2400, 8 gb Ram, win x64? server log is as per https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_6qLrpWrZlFeWJ5cmJIaWNHZTQ/edit?usp=sharing also https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_6qLrpWrZlFQ0ROT3JnX0JydTA/edit?usp=sharing can you check if there is anything standing out as a problem? Thanks again. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again. Cheers The server logs don't really corroborate that. first one took 1.5 mins to finish the startup scan, the next one 56 seconds.

braddles69 7 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Okay thanks for that, when I start the machine I get the server loading screen with the green bar, that takes approx 1.5 mins to get to about 90% complete...then it hangs there for another 2 -2.5 mins, meaning any attempt to log into MBC from WMC is denied due to server not running on local host error. Looking at the logs (and I don't really know what I am looking at;)) is there anything to do with this "2014-03-01 10:18:46.3289 Error - App: Error reported by Mono.Nat: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host System.Net.Sockets.SocketException at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.ReceiveFrom(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags, EndPoint& remoteEP) at System.Net.Sockets.UdpClient.Receive(IPEndPoint& remoteEP) at Mono.Nat.NatUtility.Receive(ISearcher searcher, List`1 clients) at Mono.Nat.NatUtility.SearchAndListen() " It seems to occur quite often. Just asking to try and understand why this hang is occurring...it never used to and my office PC doesn't experience this at all...it loads the server in about 40 secs flat (pointing to the same NAS), same rough config but SSD's are different (Samsung v OCZ).
