Hi Peeps!
Just a quick update on the above niggles. I spent all day yesterday re-oraganising my file structure and sorting through each folder for stray file types in an effort to finally solve my issues as discussed by the member at the start of this post.
My Music folder now only contains MP3âs. It does not contain any JPG Cover Art or any Music videos as was the case previously. Likewise I have cleared My Photos folder of ânon-image formatsâ and again with My Videos folder I have cleared all ânon movie formatsâ. I have re-checked both manually and with Windows Search and my files are clean.
I deleted my Media Library content and ALL Network Shares form my SMP and put the unit into Deep Standby.
On my PC I removed ALL Shares and started a-fresh. I have once again shared the following folders:
âMy Musicâ - âPhotosâ & âMy Videos Foldersâ
I re-started my SMP and in the setup menu I added new shares to my media library, all seemed okay until I looked in each location, this is how it now looks:
Under the Photos icon âMy Media Libraryâ there are 2 x foldersâŠ, Photos & My Videos! The My Videos folder shows several sub folders with thumbnails but each of those folders is empty! Clicking on them results in a warning that the content has been disconnected.
Likewise under the Videos icon âMy Media Libraryâ there are 2 x foldersâŠ, My Videos & Photos! The Photos folder has several sub folders with thumbnails showing but again, all these folders are empty! Again clicking on them results in a warning that the content has been disconnected.
Also under the Music icon âMy Media Libraryâ there are 3 x foldersâŠ, My Music, Photos & My Videos! As per the above weird behaviour the Photos & My Video folders all have sub folders with thumbnails but again all are empty.
I have deleted the content of my media library and removed the shares several times and each time resetting my SMP but each time I re-add the shares to my media library the same old empty folders repopulate my media library!!!
Earlier this afternoon I purchased a big hammer from the local DIY storeâŠ, just kidding! Seriously though I have just about had enough, I am almost bald as it is and so pulling my hair out is becoming more difficult as each day passes.
In one last ditch attempt to get this irritating little box to work I have spent the last hour or so deleting all the following files form my share locations on my PC in an effort to clear these old share locations which my SMP refuse to let go of.
They are as follows:Â
.wd_tv
METATHUMB
.XML
I have left the '.backdropâ folders in my movie folder since these only contain images which hopefully my SMP should re-use?!
I will add my Shares to my Media Library one more time later today and hope to god it works this time. Failing that itâs going back to Amazon.
