[SF8008] Movie list directory sort order

[Willo3092]

Unless you have ghosting configured they only appear as required (and disappear when not).

Yes, you're right. I used to mount my shares with fstab and the shares were always visible in /media/net/

Just checked by playing a recording on the NAS and the RECORDINGS folder has appeared in /media/autofs/

It does say 'mount when needed' in Mount Manager.

 

[Willo3092]

v6 does a file-system type check.
But if the location isn't isn't yet mounted (because it will be automounted) it might show up as an invalid filesystem?

I've just tried to set timeshift to the NAS AFTER starting to play a recording but still gives an error about partition type.

Because use of tabs is silly (what it represents is undefined).
Python standard is actually 4 spaces.

Me again, this is a snapshot of notepad++ editing a .py file (the language is set to python). I've added some tabs and spaces, neither of which correspond to line 21.

A single press of the delete key, positioned before def on line 21 removes all of "---->" (4 characters.)

 

[BrokenUnusableAccount]

Opened MovieList.py in Notepad++ and CTRL A > DELETE then pasted the whole contents of the raw page.

AFAIK that should be fine as long as it ends up as a Linux format text file (not Windoze or Mac) by the time it reaches the box.
I imagine that if you started with the old contents of the file it'll happen automatically.

 

[Willo3092]

I've started checking the EOL format before I save files now.

I've just tried to set timeshift to the NAS AFTER starting to play a recording but still gives an error about partition type.

But what is in your valid list?
It needs to have nfs and cifs (and nfs4?), not autofs.
(Assuming timeshift works on cifs - recordings do).

But what is in your valid list?

(Assuming timeshift works on cifs - recordings do).

Just added cifs to the list and it works:

			supported_filesystems = ('ext4', 'ext3', 'ext2', 'nfs', 'cifs')

Do we need to do the same for Recordings.py and PluginBrowser.py?



EDIT: Just added cifs to Recordings.py and I can now record to the NAS as well :thumbsup:

What does cat /proc/mounts show when timeshift is active?

Are you running Samba ?

Because I'm a moron. This is the Timeshift.py that I'm using if you can see what I've done wrong?
I just added , 'autofs' manually.

Not sure. No new line at the end of the file?

Why didn't your post #47 show the "cifs" mount?

Have you got "unix extensions" enabled in "smb.conf"? Turn it on.

Add "cifs" to validpartitions in Timeshift.py with "unix extensions" enabled and check it works. For Timeshift hardlinks are absolutely required, so we must see this working in timeshift setup.

 

[ccs]

Unix extensions are off by default, the line unix extensions = Yes would need adding to /etc/samba/smb-user.conf.

 

[Willo3092]

Why didn't your post #47 show the "cifs" mount?

Does it only show when it's in use? It only appears in /media/autofs/ when I'm actually using it.

Have you got "unix extensions" enabled in "smb.conf"? Turn it on.

No I haven't, I've never needed to touch that in the past. I'll try it.

Add "cifs" to validpartitions in Timeshift.py with "unix extensions" enabled and check it works. For Timeshift hardlinks are absolutely required, so we must see this working in timeshift setup.

I've added cifs in Timeshift.py and Recordings.py and I can now use the NAS share for timeshift and recordings and both confirmed working.

Just at the bottom or in a particular section?

Just at the bottom or in a particular section?

Mine looks like this with one extra line highlighted....

root@vuultimo4k:/etc/samba# cat smb-user.conf
## User changes to Samba config go here

## You can overrule the insecure defaults and enforce password
## protected access to shares by uncommenting the following
## line, including the secure settings:

## You can hide and veto access to certain directories, e.g. mount points of

## In Samba 4.x this needs to be configured per share:

So where does this line go?

[ccs]

Just put it where I added my extra line.

 

[Willo3092]

Do I need both lines?

I added disable netbios = No so that network browser could see my other ViX box.

If you haven't set it you probably don't need it.

My Vix boxes and NAS use nfs, apologies, as I had assumed you were using nfs as well for quite some time in this thread.

I'll try out my setup when the dust has settled.

 

[Willo3092]

Aah, no all my boxes connect to the NAS only. I don't need them to see each other.
All my autotimers are set to record to the NAS on a box that otherwise is rarely used and I use the main box to set one-off recordings and instant recordings.

All the boxes have the NAS shares mounted as AutoFS CIFS and I have configured the coloured buttons in Movie Selection to switch between shares.
