Are there odd characters in the filename? What are the permissions on the file?

The file is simply "SHOW_S1_D1.iso". Here's the result

Code:
root@mythtv:/myth/video# ls -al /myth/video/SHOW_S1_D1.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 4681433088 Sep 30 14:55 /myth/video/SHOW_S1_D1.iso

I'm not 100% sure, but here is something:

Code:
root@mythtv:/myth/video# ls
SHOW_S1_D1.iso  archive  cdrom  motion  tracy1  tracy2
root@mythtv:/myth/video# ls -l
total 4576200

Try
Code:
ls -al /myth/video

or:
Code:
ls -ld /myth/video

Which should produce something very like this:
Code:
root@black2:~# ls -ld /myth/video/
drwxrwxr-x 5 mythtv mythtv 4096 Sep  9 16:49 /myth/video/

Hmm. To me, this looks similar to your result

I've been playing with different permissions, but still Video Manager can not see the files that the Watch Video browser easily sees. I'm not sure what my next step should be.

I have one additional bit of info, that may be a red herring. I noticed something, when I access Myth via Samba & putty on my laptop. After the R5F27 upgrade, I no longer can log in as 'mythtv'. I can only log in under my first name. After I login that way, I can still 'su' into root. Perhaps I did something stupid during the upgrade which impacted users and permissions.

Well, the mythtv user via ssh is no mystery. It was covered in tjc's hits and tricks thread:
Quote:
6.1) For improved security, direct ssh access as the "mythtv" and "root" users and for users with blank passwords has been disabled in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. For ssh access as root you must login as user created during phase 1 installation, run "su - root", and provide the root password.


Your other problem may be due to your video settings... I seem to remember a section in the setup>video that allows you to literally tell the various vid components which file types are valid. There is also a setting that allows it to recognize unknown file types as well. Does this affect manager and viewer differently? I dunno but it's worth a peek.

Poke around in that section and see if you can find these settings and if that helps you out.

Thanks for the tips. However, I've already been digging around in the settings. Even when "show unknown file types" is enabled, nothing shows up in the Video Manager scan. I've also ensured that the ISO extension (new and old) is enabled in the File Associations screen. If 'Watch Videos' didn't see the file either, then I could imagine some root causes. But since 'Watch Videos' does see the files and Video Manager does not, I'm stumped.

Recently, I added a VOB file to /myth/videos. However, Video Manager does not see that file either. I also added a .jpg file and changed the file extension rule so that kind of file will not be ignored. It also was not found in the Video Manager scan.

So, with /myth/video holding 3 different kinds of files, Video Manager fails to see any of them during a search. However, the "Watch Videos" browser sees all of them. Indeed, "Watch Videos" plays the ISO and VOB files perfectly. Anyone have any new ideas? I'm at a loss.

I don't have a solution, but here are some suggestions:

1. In the file associations setup, but sure that the "ignore" flag is not set on the filetypes you are using. (I know -- this is a real longshot)

2. Install webmin and look at the contents of table "videometadata". Based on what you are describing it is probably empty, but let's make sure. If things are correct, you should see 1 row for each file.

3. Again via webmin look at the contents of table "videotypes" -- make sure that all of your file type associations are correct.

Finally, a questions -- is your entire system contained on 1 box, or do you have split front-ends / back-ends or any network mounted storage?
