leojay Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I put a movie on download via couchpotato and sabnzbd (both located on unRAID). The download started in the /mnt/user/Dump/Uncompleted directory, when finished it then sent it to the /mnt/user/Dump/Sort directory. Couchpotato then sent it to the /mnt/user/Movies/<moviename> directory. When I went to check the movie (via a share on my computer) I noticed that couchpotato had indeed created a folder for the movie, however when I went in there there was nothing to be found. At first I thought I hadn't set Windows 8 to see hidden files, however when I went to change my computer to view hidden files it had already been set to do it. I right clicked the folder and clicked "play from VLC" and it picked up the files just fine. I then went to a telnet session and located the folder and viewed the files in it. They were all there, unhidden. They also have the same permissions as all of my other files. However unlike the other files they are highlighted in red. Just so you know, I'm running unRAID 4.7 and that was the first movie I had downloaded on the server (new to unRAID in general, only had the server up and running for a day or so!). Thanks guys, I hope someone can help me Quote Link to comment
leojay Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Well, I've got to be the stupidest person a live. :'( I had recently set my Movies share to be hidden for a test. Apparently Couchpotato uses the attributes of the parent folder when sorting movie files, so the movie file itself was of course hidden. I just used chmod -R -X <moviefolder> to fix it incase someone else comes across this stupid problem. However, I still thought Windows was able to view Linux hidden files? Strange. Oh well, sorted out, I'm an idiot! Quote Link to comment
FreeMan Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Thank you so much! This has been driving me nuts. I'm not sure why, but some of my movie files are showing up hidden when viewed from a Windows machine, and my XBMC, but were there on the server in putty. chmod 777 obviously didn't fix it, but chmod 666 (equivalent to -R -X) did. THANK YOU!!! Quote Link to comment
