Hello Everyone,
I have been playing around with XBMC for a few weeks now. Honestly, I have been going crazy trying to get the scrapers to work with my TV Shows and Movies. I have named all of my files properly, and setup the directory structures in a way that seems acceptable.
I have a WD MyBook Live Network Storage Drive. It uses Twonky Media to serve to all the devices in my house. It works perfectly... except for XBMC.
When I have movies or TV shows stored locally on my MacBook or Win 7 machine, it will scan and add them properly.
When I try to add a source from my UPNP - Twonky Media - it either scans one movie and never stops scanning or adding any more. --- or it just doesn't add any at all .
I have this from my last log
17:21:54 T:2955026432 M:829480960 WARNING: CreateLoader - Unsupported protocol(upnp) in upnp://7076436f-6e65-1063-8074-0090a9f635d2/0%243%2434%24355/
17:21:58 T:2955026432 M:829259776 ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting upnp://e43325c0-aba8-4d4d-b483-fc2f26c4c183/6960ADB4/
17:21:58 T:2955026432 M:829259776 NOTICE: VideoInfoScanner: Finished scan. Scanning for video info took 00:16
If anyone can help, I am open to suggestions here.
... So RIGHT after I posted, I figured out how to add my sources as SMB instead of UPNP. Scanning works flawlessly. Everything is now right as rain
XBMC will not scan UPNP Library

Although this is not the most helpful response. I also gave up on this and used samba.

same problem in Eden. It's a shame because the upnp protocol are much more efficient that SMB allowing for faster start time and quicker seeking / rewind.

UPNP is known to not work with the scrapers as the UPNP path is dynamically generated/named each time.
NFS is the fastest protocol if you can use this, or FTP/DAV. SMB is slow (I have tried and tested all of these from my Apple TV's, XBMCUbuntu, and Windows install to my media store on my NAS) Pi 512mb[XBIAN][Amber Skin] 2xATV2[Frodo][Amber Skin] QNAP TS410 NAS - 4x2TB Raided with NFS Support & Central MySQL DB Samsung 46" ES7000 Smart TV & HT-E5550 3D BD Sound System Solwise 200Mb Powerline adapters |
