Re: Ubuntu gutsy and HD250 - 2008/07/25 07:41
Actually, my post was really half ars*d 
What was happening was that when i went to play a file, the screen would blank for a few seconds and then it would return to the play selected movie screen.
I however have now found the problem, although I have no idea why this is happening. I set the system up and did a media scan before I got the HD250. Swisscenter found all my media as expected. I then did some work on the files from a different machine NFS mounted my media files. I then rescaned my library, the files were detected however when I then connected my HD250 this problem occured.
I have resolved it using 2 methods, I am not actually sure which works best.
1. I made copies of all my files and folders associated with my swisscenter media and deleted the originals.
2. I removed the media paths from Swisscenter and added them again and did a new media scan.
I suspect this has to do with the file permissions on the folders and files changing when using NFS. I did check permissions with Nautilus and they seemed ok.
By doing what I did with the copy and/or delete and rescan, I must be "resetting" the permissions. I of course am guessing as to the cause and the effect of the "fix". If anyone can shed some light on this "quirk" it would be appreciated.
