I have a Vero 4k+ as a client. I was having a few issues with it that I couldn’t fix so I reinstalled OSMC on it. It now seems to be working fine except for two issues:
It sees all the shares on my Vero V server except for one hard drive. That hard drive is called “Seagate3”. I’m using a mount point of /mnt. That hard drive shows up on the server but not on the client. I checked fstab on the server and Seagate3 is listed there. I checked blkid on the server and it shows up. but it does not show up on /mnt on the client.
A number of thumbnails do not show up on the main screen for movies, so I have no idea the title of the movie that is being referenced.
showmount -e 192.168.1.15
Export list for 192.168.1.15:
/mnt/easystore5 192.168.1.1/24
/mnt/Seagate2 192.168.1.1/24
/mnt/easystore 192.168.1.1/24
/mnt/My Book 192.168.1.1/24
/mnt/easystore3 192.168.1.1/24
/mnt/easystore4 192.168.1.1/24
Not really running a NAS (if I understand your question correctly). I have the Vero V as the server attached to multiple hard drives. One more than what shows above.
Ok now I got it, sorry that I didn’t read the initial post correctly.
So basically you should change your export file on the Vero to just export /mnt instead the individual drives. If you want to keep your existing approach you would need to add an entry for the seagate3
Your post helped me remember a bit of how I originally had set it up. So I looked at /etc/exports and saw that the missing hard drive wasn’t in there. Added it, exportfs -a, and voila!
Do you have any idea based on the logs why I am having issues with my thumbnails?
Hi Jim - thanks for the post. However, I had already seen this post and had already disabled “extract thumbnails from video files”. It did not help.
For thoroughness, I just tested using the OSMC default skin. And still I get a lot of thumbnails not showing up for movies. The only benefit I can see with this skin is that there is now a caption that lists the name of the movie that should be displayed by the thumbnail.
When you say “reinstalled”, does it mean you have restored old data/settings from the previous installation or did you start from scratch and inserted the video sources from the beginning including scraping all information for the videos?
I did install OSMC from scratch but copied over the sources.xml and advanced settings.xml from the previous backup. Based on your post I’m assuming that’s the problem!!
If it is, can you advise on how to fix it? I’d rather not go through and redo the sources from scratch if possible.
Thanks!!
Sounds odd to me that only restoring the soruces.xml and adavncedsettings.xml leads to such strange situation after scraping and update library … but who knows.
I suggest you go this way, log into the system via ssh and user osmc/osmc
The missing thumbnails and texture info should be rebuild on access … but this can take some time.
If that does not work, you should restart from scratch inserting the sources and initially scrape the content.
Hey Jim - I did a quick look after doing your suggestion above and see that most, if not all, of the movies with missing thumbnails come from one drive. Interestingly, this drive also has “.nfo” files, and fanart and posters in jpg format for each of the movies. I remember at one time setting up this drive this way but can’t remember why.
