unRAID (v5b6), XBMC and NFS...

Featured Replies

I'm not really sure if this is an XBMC issue or an unRAID issue so I plan on posting in both forums...

 

I am running the latest beta of unRAID (v5.0 b6) and the latest veersion of XBMC.  I have found that NFS is a MUCH better protocol than SMB...especially while trying to stream Blu-Ray rips over gigabit.  So naturally I have my "Movies" unRAID share mounted to /media/Movies in XBMC using NFS.  Everything works great with one exception...

 

...if I add a new movie to the share and tell XBMC to "Update Library", the new movie is not added.  XBMC acts as if no new movies have been found.  Even if I turn off Library mode and look directrly at the source directory (/media/Movies), I still cannot see the new file.  The only way I am able to see it is if I reboot my XBMC box.  It is almost as if XBMC is only looking at a cached directory listing.

 

One note...I am currently using Wake-On-USB to power on (more wake up) my XBMC box.  Could this be a factor?  I kinda ruled it out since I am still able to see and play movies without the need for a reboot (i.e. XBMC does not lose connection to the Movies share).

 

Like I said, I plan on posting the same in teh XBMC forums but I know there are quite a few people here that use the XBMC/unRAID combo.  The x-factor however is NFS.

 

TIA,

 

John

I'm doing this using version 4.7 of unRAID with no problem.

Is there anyone esle who can test this for me (speficialy with unRAID v5bx)?

 

Some more info...this is how I am mounting the NFS shares via the rc.local file in XBMC:

 

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.2:/mnt/user/Movies /media/Movies

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.2:/mnt/user/TV /media/TV

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.2:/mnt/user/Pictures /media/Pictures

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.2:/mnt/user/Music /media/Music

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.2:/mnt/user/Videos /media/Videos

 

Does this look OK?  Is there a better way of doing it?

My machine would do that now and then. I just ended up viewing it in file view until I found the directory the file lived in and I would use the "search for new content" and walla it would add it.

 

I tried everything from rebooting, rebuilding the entire library until one day I said what the heck I'll do it manually. Doesn't have issues very often, but once in a while it just needs a kick in the pants.
