[confirm] Recorded files not visible until re-enter folder (1 Viewer)

[Peter2]

Hi guys, I first thought that recordings were not executed but apparently they do not show until going a level up in the directory structure and opening again. Even going to the home screen and back to videos, doesn't show them, it's only by moving in the folders.

I saw a bug report about the watched status which might be related but started a new thread in case other users are experiencing the same.

Another client shows the same behavior.

Hi
I cant reproduce it.
Just to be clear you open recordings folder by TVHome-> recordings or you have a mapping to that folder in My Videos?

Hi romuz, it's a local folder which is configured in the 'Video Folders' of MePo configuration.

I just now installed RC6 on my server but cannot check if it still exists (have another minor problem) but on a client which has RC6 for some days now, I still have the same behavior. If I want to access newly recorded videos I have to go up 1 level and re-open the recordings folder to see files that were not there the last time the client was used.

So if you are in a folder in recorded TV that you expect a new recording to appear, it does not update the list when the recording is created - is that correct?

If so, this is 'expected' behaviour. Folders do not watch for new content and update their lists. This is just how it is!

Can you confirm that this is what you are reporting, and if so I will mark it as 'no bug'.

Hi Mark,

Yes, that's what I meant but I'm using MP since 2006 about the same way regarding recordings and I have not experienced this behavior before.

Does the issue happen with 1.1.0 C2 as well? If not then it is most likely a side effect of 0002859: MyVideos reloads the contents of a folder when stoping playback - MediaPortal Bugtracker

Hi tourettes, I guess you mean RC2 and yes, it might be since then because I was starting to doubt whether it was a good idea to step away from the stable 1.0.2

EDIT: does a client use the server database in some way to present the recorded files or is it only using the video folder (in my case a unc path by using the admin share of the server)
