| Post subject: | Losing Video Meta-Data when using a second Front end |
Hi all, I have a second front end and my video collection doesn't show. So I run the video scan and get them all to appear ... but it blanks my front end video collection - losing all the imdb info that I had put in. Is there a way around this? tks! John |

Hi jmacmythtv, Under what path are your videos available to Frontend-A? Under what path are your videos available to Frontend-B? For best results, these two should be the same. IE. Frontend-A /myth/videos Frontend-B /myth/videos Symbolic links will work here and you may need to adjust the settings in the frontend to reflect this. I hope this helps. BigB. |

Hi BigB, I think on the FE/BE they are in the standard /myth/videos. On the FE only, I have an NFS share that maps to the BE but it would have a couple of extra directory levels, iirc: home/john/MYVCR/myth/Videos Strangely, I didn't tell the FE only machine to look in that particular location ... it seems to have found it on its own?? I will check this out later tonight, add some symlinks and report back. Thanks! |

That was the issue. In the video setup, I had pointed the frontend to my NFS mount which was different from the backend path. I created a symlink on the front end, changed the setting, and now the frontend and backend share nicely. tks! |
