Database scan doesn't look into subdirectories (1 Viewer)

[nomoremythtv]

Hello All,

new to this forum and had no look searching and googling for my problem. So i hope to find a light of wisdom in here

I did a fresh install following the online guides of Version 1.02. The system is up and running fine with TV-Server finding my TV-channels and the frontend showing off tv and so on.

Sadly i can't get the frontend to scan my movie / video folders. In 'Media Portal Configuration' i checked the box for 'every movie has its own directory' and defined my movie folder 'd:\media\videos'. But doing a scan over this directory finds nothing and is also really quick. I did a cross test with defining 'd:\media\videos\Caveman' in folders. This one is found by the scan and the imdb lookup works fine.

So ain't there to automagically add alls subdirectories under d:\media\movies to the database? I have the strange feeling of overlooking something.

Thx,

tom

Finally found it. It's a bug in media portal when there are illegal chars in the subfolder names. mp doesn't skip these instead bails out with an error in the log files.

Just for the record if anybody else comes across this.

cheers,

tom
