| Post subject: | Mythvideo Covers not viewable from slave |
Hi I managed to get my slavebackend/frontend connecting to my backend via NFS. My backend has movies in the /myth/video/ directory. I also have the covers store in the /myth/video/.covers directory. From the backend I can see the covers when I go into Media Files=> Watch Video=> using the gallery setting. However I cannot see the covers from the slavebackend. I can see the movie files but not the covers as I do on the backend. Since the whole video directory is mounted and has a symbolic link do I need to have the /.covers directory mounted? Its a subdirectory so I dont think so right? Do I have to do any other steps? |

LOL You keep telling me to do that Cecil.. I am running Linhes as per your setup. I guess I missed a step. Looking at your document again. Are the following steps the ones I should redo? On the Masterbackend Finally as the user mythtv: cd ~/.mythtv rm -fr MythVideo ln -s /mnt/mythtvslavefrontend/image_cache/MythVideo/ MythVideo On the SlaveBackend Finally as the user mythtv: cd ~/.mythtv rm -fr MythVideo ln -s /myth/image_cache/MythVideo/ MythVideo |

Sorry but I cannot seem to get this to work. I have setup Linhes based on your document and I can watch videos and they show up in the Video manager. However the movie poster and metadata is not showing up on the slavefrontend. I did the steps above for image_cache but that I thought was for seeing thumbnails of recordings etc... On the slavefrontend in media settings=>general settings=> I have the path for my videos as /mnt/mythtvmasterbackend/myth/video The covers are therefore found in /mnt/mythtvmasterbackend/myth/video/.covers This is a hidden directory. I have read that sometimes the hidden subdirectories dont get mounted properly for NFs. Is this the problem. Do I have to do a individual symbolic link for the .covers directory. ie On the mythtvmasterbackend should I ln -s mythtvslavefrontend/video/.covers video/.covers I checked the permissions for the .covers director and CHMOD it to 777. |

The path for where your videos are stored must be the same on both systems. That is why I used /mnt/video on both. As long as the path are the same on both, you should have no issue. |

Cecil, Thanks for taking the time to respond. Yes I finally figured that part out. I now have all of the frontends pointing to /mnt/video. Its important to note that for now I am storing everything on the backend. Nothing on the slavefrontend. This is different than your setup. If I figure this out I am going to write up a LINHES with central storage doc. I reran the video manager on the backend and I can see the videos and it imports the imdb information properly. However now I am having a problem seeing the covers from the backendfrontend as well. I can get the IMDB information but not the jpg. They are still in the /myth/video/.covers directory. I goto the slavefrontend it sees the videos and they play but does not have the corresponding movie posters either. I have both machines pointing to /mnt/video /mnt/video/.covers I am sorry to be so dense. I just can't figure it out. I can browse the symbolic link and see the hidden directory for .covers in /mnt/video. |
