The only line regarding this is:

Code:

22:33:51 T:5968 WARNING: VIDEO::CVideoInfoScanner::Process directory 'S:\' does not exist - skipping scan.

Is it possible to do something with it? I don't want to add this drive as a network share.

P.S. If I select a specific directory, i.e. 'S:\Friends' and select "Scan for a new content", everything works fine. So I think it is a windows-specific bug...

I think that this code in the filesystem / Directory.cpp contains a kind of error handling the root folder:

Code:

try
  {
    CURL realURL = URIUtils::SubstitutePath(url);

// some extra code removed

    auto_ptr<IDirectory> pDirectory(CDirectoryFactory::Create(realURL));
    if (pDirectory.get())
      return pDirectory->Exists(realURL);
  }

Easy enough, make a directory s:\media and copy everything in s:\ to s:\media.

Sure. But we don't like Indian-style programming, isn't it?

If it is a problem with code than it should be solved somehow.

I will look into code and post a ticket. I am not so good with C++ to fork the project and solve it by myself...

Whats the indian-style programming?

I had the same issue.

Kodi doesn't scan files if they are on the drive root. It must be a bug because Gotham worked fine with the same setup.

Whats the indian-style programming?

Opposite of Cowboy programming?

Whats the indian-style programming?

Which Indians? American Indians or India Indians or other Indians? I think its important to know which so we can determine what program style we talking about since its two different standards.

Windows recently got a new file implementation in xbmc, probably fails to report roots as directories.

Should be fixed in next nightly.

SantaFox, did you have a chance to try a latest nightly?
