It fixes both problems. Only the video covers are not displayed in mythweb, but you should create and link the data/video_covers directory anyway, otherwise mythweb will keep nagging about the incorrect symlink.<br><br>Regards, Youri<br>

<br> * status: closed => new<br> * resolution: worksforme =><br> <br> <br> Comment:<br> <br> Dear,<br> <br> I'm experiencing the same error. The symlinks are wrongly created and as a<br> workaround i had to remove them and recreate them as directory's so i<br>
could mount them with "mount -o bind". With this dirty hack, the video<br> directory is fine and video's can be played on both the localhost and the<br> remote hosts. Video covers are still unavailable though.<br>
<br> Before using this dirty hack i've verified all permissions/ownership on<br> both the directory's and the symlinks. Both were fine imho.<br> <br> gentoo linux / Mythweb 0.21_p16809<br> <br> Regards, Youri<br>

Daniel,<br><br>I used a dirty hack to resolve this problem. First i removed the symlinks "data/video" and "data/video_covers". Afterwards i've created them as directory's and mounted them with "mount -o bind".<br>
<br>Keep in mind that this is only a workaround and that we should actually report this as a bug to the developers!<br><br>Regards, Youri <br><div><span> <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/28/08, <b class="gmail_sendername">Daniel Buijs</b> <<a href="mailto:dbuijs@gmail.com" target="_blank">dbuijs@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div> Hello Everyone,<div><br></div><div>I recently redid my Myth box using Jared's Guide (<a href="http://www.wilsonet.com/mythtv/howto" target="_blank">www.wilsonet.com/mythtv/howto</a>), with slight modifications for Fedora Core 8, and MythTV 0.21 (current release, not SVN). There were a few hiccups but everything seems more or less ok now, with the exception of Mythweb's video module. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I had the same problem described below and in several other posts. I have multiple video directories. Here's how I got around it:</div><div><br></div><div>Mythweb creates non-functional symlinks in /var/www/html/mythweb/data. Remove these.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I created a new symlink to only one of my video directories, and changed the owner and group to mythtv:apache.</div><div><br></div><div>Then I ran into problems with the Video Covers directory. I had to change the default Video Covers directory to something different, with ownership mythtv:apache (as above), and then create a symlink to it, as above. </div>
<div><br></div><div>If you don't create these symlinks, the program will keep creating broken ones. </div><div><br></div><div>Now I can launch the video module from Mythweb and browse to ALL my video directories. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I still have a problem with downloading/viewing the videos. The urls ae referenced improperly. For example, if the video is located at /storage/videos/myvideo.avi, the link will be to /mythweb/data/video//storage/videos/myvideo.avi</div>
<div><br></div><div>The problem is in one of the php files, but I'm not enough of a coder to find it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this (besides waiting for 0.22)</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>
