All my video library content is on the sbe's, and accessed via storage groups.   If I do a Videos/Browse Videos/Scan for Changes all the content on the sbe's is removed, only the content on the mbe is left.

I *can* play them, so I don't think there's an access/permissions problem; and the sg's are right.  For example I'm currently watching the Peter Gabriel Live in Athens listed earlier on as

The storage groups on boris are :

mysql> select * from storagegroup where hostname='boris';

and it has world read permissions...

ls -l /storage/boris1/mythtv/movies/p-s/Peter*
-rw-r--r-- 1 paulw paulw 5214776960 Jan  8 18:33 /storage/boris1/mythtv/movies/p-s/Peter_Gabriel_-_Live_In_Athens_(2013).mkv

So I don't think it's a storage group or a permissions problem. 

I'll try to do the log thing if i get a chance tomorrow.

Thanks
