<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; ">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I've got a FreeNAS server with lots of storage mounted to the /var/lib/mythtv directory. Recording and playback works fine. However, I've noticed that the preview images in mythweb no longer gets generated, and found the following in the logs:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>2009-08-25 19:40:24.979 Preview Error: Previewer file '/var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1038_20090825194000.mpg' is not valid.</div><div>2009-08-25 19:40:24.987 Preview Error: Run() file not local: '/var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1038_20090825194000.mpg'</div>

<div><br></div><div>The file does exist:</div><div><div>root@mythbuntu:/var/log/mythtv# ls -la /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1038_20090825194000.mpg</div><div>-rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 1935136768 2009-08-25 20:30 /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1038_20090825194000.mpg</div>
<div>root@mythbuntu:/var/log/mythtv#</div><div><br></div></div><div>It seems to me that mythbackend does not generate previews for recordings on non-local storage. Can anyone please confirm this, or whether there is a workaround available?</div>
