How do xbmc forum,
I consider myself to be fairly tech savvy and have myself a Win 7 media server running "NFS server" for my media shares and MySQL for my databases. A Win 7 desktop with xbmc and a Raspberry Pi with openelec xbmc v12 connected to my tv.
Everything has been working fine for ages, then slowly bits keep falling off and then somehow repairing themselves. Then just when you actually want to watch something without having to get up and reset you server (I know, first world problems) all the media goes missing. Let me explain the problems in a little more detail below.
So on my desktop I get duplicates on a regular basis, not one folder, everything. This usually occurs when I solve problem two;
Problem 2; On my Pi I use my iphone as a remote, I leave the Pi on all the time as it uses so little power. When my phone connects and I go to refresh the media (tv or movies) I get 0 results. I can however browse to my shares and play media directly from there. The option to rescan files is missing in the menus on the shares. If I edit the share content or shares it then asks if I want to rescan, sometimes this works, sometimes it scans and still draws a blank. Sometimes I have to restart the Pi and then change reselect the share content.
I am clearly missing something annoyingly obvious. A tickbox of wonder. I have tried to fix this to no avail.
you're my only hope xbmc forum, you're my only hope.
ps. I can see you guys needing a smidge more info too, let me know what you need and I'll get right to it.
