[mythtv-users] videos - scan for changes not fully working for me

[Jason Portwood]

I have a recently installed Mythtv frontend/backend server and a front 
end system using MythBuntu 12.04. (MythTV Version : v0.25.2-15-g46cab93 
/ MythTV Branch : fixes/0.25).  I had an existing system before this and 
I wanted to start over fresh so I used mythicallibrarian to rename the 
old recordings and then I transferred what I wanted to keep to the new 
backed.  I placed those files, around 500 of them,  in a directory I set 
as the video storage group.  It has sub directories for each show/season 
as well.

The problem I'm having is Mythtv on either system isn't seeing all of 
the titles.  I'm getting maybe half of the titles under videos (oddly 
seems to stop at the S's).  When I do a "scan for changes" on either 
system it will run once to 100% but the missing titles don't appear.  If 
I scan again it blinks and occasionally, if I run the scan again, the 
front end crashes with an error code 139.

I've run the command "mythbackend --scanvideos" on the backend server 
but it didn't have any effect - I've only run that on my 
frontend/backend.  I haven't tried it yet on the dedicated front end.

I haven't tried moving files out of the video directory and start 
smaller since my initial testing.  Would that be worth trying or should 
MythTV be able to handle what I'm doing?

Thank you for any help / pointers in the right direction.
