March 1, 201115 yr 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
March 10, 201115 yr Author 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? John
March 10, 201115 yr 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.
