thesuffering Wrote:i posted this in the iOS forum, but im not sure if its an apple tv 2 problem or sick beard, so ill post here too:

my main htpc is serving all my media and gets tv shows automatically via sickbeard. i have the library shared via mysql. any new shows i have used SAB and SB to download and sort do show up in my library, but fail to play when i click on them. they will play on the main htpc, just not on the atv2.

all shows that werent recently downloaded/added via sickbeard play just fine via the atv2.
my log is here:

whats happening? i have tried restarting both the atv2 and xbmc

any ideas?

thesuffering Wrote:this did turn out to be a permissions issue. the only way i was able to fix it was go into the security tab of each file, add the user "Everyone" and give it the permissions.

Quote:is there any reason why only those shows downloaded via SB have this issue? anyway it could be resolved?

HenryFord Wrote:You do use Windows 7/Vista? This is because the SMB-Sharing in Vista/7 is broken by default. Microsoft wants to push the usage of homegroups (which is obviously not possible with the apple tv) and disables the SMB-Shares by default.
This is a heavy issue in Windows, but Microsoft does not want to resolve this. So, it is quite a hassle to get SMB working properly.

This could be due to the fact that SB has no Admin-Priviliges (it runs in the user-space and with the permissions of the user) by default and cannot set the permissions properly. Maybe running Sab as an admin resolves the issue? Try it, and please report back.

If that does not work, check your already existing files which weren't aqquired through SB - do they have the "Everyone"-Permission already set, or do they work without them? Try to spot a difference between the Permission-Sets.

HenryFord Wrote:Yeah, right - but I was not talking about the actual "movement" of the file but about the settings for network-propertys (in order to modify those you have to be either admin or the owner of the file with the sufficent priviliges). I do not know exactly how Sabnzbd handles those priviliges in windows, because I use Linux most of the time.
It just has to be a windows issue, I just can't grasp where this is coming from.

@thesuffering: Could you explain step by step what you do when you
a) send a file over the network which you downloaded manually (how _exactly_ do you do that?)
b) send a file over the network which was downloaded through sabnzbd/sickbeard.

How is it with files you downloaded manually via Sabnzbd? Say that you take a video file and you download it through sabnzbd (without a category) and with sickbeard: Does it work with the manually downloaded file? If so, there would be a problem with Sickbeard messing up the setting of the file.
