Hello ive recently transferred from using xbmc on windows 8 to XBMCbuntu (hardly any experience with linux but learning)
When i set the content of my movies folder (EXT USB drive identfied as media/Media/movies in the file manager) like i would on XBMC windows all goes well media is found information and art is added ect.
But as soon as i reboot and go back into XBMC all my movies say file no longer available would you like to remove. I thought that maybe the USB disk wasnt mounted, but if i used the files manager on XBMC i could play the media fine so the usb drive was mounted and working.
When i clean the library a popup comes up that says /media/Media/movies can no longer be found would you like to remove all content.
So far all i have tried to rectify this is to remove XBMC and the hidden xbmc folder in the home directory and reinstall it but i had the same issue. Ill list the commands that i used in xterm below hopefully they are right.
sudo apt-get purge xbmc
sudo apt-get install xbmc
I dual boot with windows because i use media companion to organize my media im not sure if that creates an issue.
If some one could help me id be very appreciative because due to my lack of understanding with linux im out of ideas and i dont want to go back to running on windows because the performance is so so much bettter on XBMCbuntu (other then this hopefully minor issue )
Thanks
