[QUOTE="gamejester, post: 155223, member: 50634"] You are correct, it is the hidden System Volume Information folder causing you issues and not the SVN version (unless logic has changed that I am not aware of). I have seen this issue and the cause is always network / folder access. If when doing a scan in MP or when parsing files in the setup it gets to a DIR or file which it cannot read, then it stops and all TV series is then greyed out as off-line, or in your case as you have no DB created it simply stops. I too run everything from a windows 2003 server, and I also used to used to use mount mounts - folder to drive. The issue here is the folder will always exist, so MP will try to scan it, but if for whatever reason the user your PC is logged in with cannot see the files, it all stops. I now use DFS juntion points on the windows 2003 server as this gives me the flexibility to move series folders around whilst presenting the same structure to the clients so no DB re-build is required; also no System Volume Information it presented and I can have all my series appear as if they are in the same fodler. I also start MP from a batch file that first mounts the MEDIA drive, then checks it can see various test series, then starts MP. In this way I do not get the anoying issue of having to re-scan the series. Gives me a chance to investigate the issue first. Here is the batch file if anyone is interested [COLOR="Blue"]@echo off net use m: \\server1\media /user:server1\XiVo XiVo If NOT EXIST "M:\series\24\Season_1" GOTO StopError If NOT EXIST "M:\series\CSI\Season_1" GOTO StopError If NOT EXIST "M:\series\Stargate Atlantis\Season_3" GOTO StopError goto runMP :runMP START "GO" "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MediaPortal.exe" Goto END goto END :stopError echo **************************************************** echo * Problem with M: drive, not starting Media Portal * echo **************************************************** pause :END[/COLOR] Perhaps we should raise a feature request to make the scanning a bit more tolerant?
