trurl Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Take a look at the Podcasts folder. There is probably a folder name in there that has invalid characters as far as Windows is concerned. You can probably identify it by the timestamp and rename it in mc. Quote Link to comment
perfessor101 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 I tried this first find . -name "*[<>\\|?*]*" and it didn't give me any names then I realized ... directories find . -type d -name "*[<>\\|?*]*" still nothing listing I tried find . type -d -maxdepth 1 | sort >podcasts.directory.find.txt which gives me podcasts.directory.find.txt I've also attached an ls -l as podcasts.directory.ls.txt I'm using this webpage as the source of possible illegal names https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247 I'm going to print the files and try checking off each directory to see if there is anything missing from one of the listings comparing the windows directory listing to the mc listing to the printouts. podcasts.directory.find.txt podcasts.directory.ls.txt Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Even though Windows won't display the name, it is showing you the timestamp. Go into mc and sort on timestamp and look for it. Quote Link to comment
perfessor101 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 one of the The Amazing Show Starring James Randi (x4) and one of the Weird Things (x3) podcasts were the ones that seem to be the ones that were doing it I understand what you meant now ... look for the timestamps in Windows Explorer of the blank names sort the directories in mc by timestamp and find the matching timestamp / directory Thanks for your help, Bobby Quote Link to comment
