<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At the risk of pissing some folks off, I wanted to
post this question again, as I didn't get any response. Specifically, I was
wondering if I didn't provide enough information, or if simply no one has any
thoughts on why this is happening.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks again and sorry for the double
post.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm having a strange problem with mythVideo. I
recently moved all of my ripped movies to a NFS shared drive on another Linux
box. Every time I go into video manager to scan for new movies, the progress
bar gets to 50%, then it gives me a message that movie XYZ is missing and
would I like to remove it from the database. It asks me this for all 300+
movies in the directory, so I click "yes to all". After this, all of my
movies show up properly in the Video Manager and in MythVideo.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The really strange thing happens next. When I go
into MythVideo, I'm able to select and play any movie just fine. I can exit
out of one movie and start another one just fine. After a few minutes
(hours?), however, the movies get lost. When I select a movie in MythVideo, it
tries to play it, but then just returns to the movie description page, acting
as if it can't find the file.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can go back into the Video Manager, scan for
new movies, select 'yes to all' to purge the missing files, and then I'm able
to play movies again, at least for the next few minutes (hours?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not sure whether the problem is in the Myth
database or if it is somehow in my NFS share. I've tried clearing out the
MythVideo database by selecting an empty directory in the Video Setup, and
then scanning for new movies, but the problem returns after I re-set the movie
directory to the actual location of my movies.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Neither of the Linux boxes are ever turned off or
put to sleep, so I don't think the network connection is being
dropped.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm running MythTV 0.18, AMD Athlon 2400+, 256mb
RAM 10/100 wired Ethernet, Fedora Core 4, set up with Jarrod's
guide.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for the thoughts.
