Post subject: | Error in the Video tab on MythWeb: No Symlink? |
anyone ever gotten this from MythWeb going into the video tab? Error Could not create a symlink to /share/Movies/dvd/:/myth/video, the local MythVideo directory for this hostname (stingray). Please create a symlink to your MythVideo directory at data/video in order to use the video portions of MythWeb. I'm using R5.5. |

Now I'm having the same error on a fresh install of R6. Didn't have this issue on R5.5. I checked the database paths and hostname entries and they appear to be fine. hmm....not sure where to go from here. |

yes, I have. Did you check under: Code: /var/www/data
to ensure that all the paths, links, and permissions were correct? I seem to recall I had to tweak this. The above directory is where mythweb gets its data. |

ok....had some time to look deeper into this....for some reason the symlink was missing.....needs to be from the default video directory, i.e. /myth/video to /data/srv/httpd/htdocs/mythweb/data. the directory structure of the web server has changed in R6 and I don't have a 5.5 machine any more but I suspect if you follow the /var/www path as suggested you will find data directory you can create the symlink to there... |

To make it easier for the new folks, $ sudo -i # ln -s /myth/video /data/srv/httpd/htdocs/mythweb/data # ctrl d $ should do the trick Mike |

mjl, That's just for R6. OP said he was running R5.5. Which would be: Code: $ su # ln -s /myth/video /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/data/video # ctrl d $ You may also have to link in the covers directory as well. I can't remember if this is the stock place as I network mount all of my stuff but I use: Code: ln -s /myth/video/.covers /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/data/video_covers

Thanks Didn't notice the R5.5 part but it was needed in R6 for me anyway. Mike |

"/myth/video/.covers" is symlinked to a directory on my FreeNAS media server. MythWeb doesn't show the movie posters. MythVideo does, but not MythWeb. I'm not sure how to fix this. Help? -sTv |

MythVideo does, but not MythWeb. I have the same issue and I am also network mounting. I had this working in R5.5 but not in 6.xx. Unfortunately I haven't had time to investigate too far as to why. I eliminated the lighttpd basedir as an issue and I think my permissions are generally ok. My next suspicion is that I use CIFS to mount which I know has some issues with web servers for data transfer. What are you using for network protocol? |
