Weird issue browsing Videos folders 1.3 beta (1 Viewer)

[David Scott]

OK, this is quite strange and couldn't find anything like it in the forum. I have a bunch of video folders setup which on a local drive which all seem to work fine when I go into 'watch your videos', except if I go into some (but not all) folders that have nested sub-folders, I have an issue where I initially see nothing at all if I go into one of those folders, I have to back out back to the homepage and go back in to 'watch your videos' and the folders will show up. but then if I try to go into one of the listed sub-folders... same thing, I see nothing and have to back out, then when I go back in again I see the files inside the sub-folder that I wanted to look into.

Cannot figure what is going on or whether this is a database thing or a file system thing. It used to be fine, so I am thinking it is a 1.3 beta thing, or something has caused it - I do remember doing a full defrag of the videos drive not so long ago.

Anybody got a clue where to begin, a log file to check?

I've already looked at file and folder permissions. All look fine. Tried deleting all of the folders defined for videos and re-created - same problem.

I had the same problem with shares view. I had to change the folder name on the hard drive , then in MPconfig set up the new folders and rescan the files into the database.
