Importing HDHomeRun DVR Directories

OK, done. Clicking "Scan" again didn't do much. Just a quick blip from Idle back to Idle. New diagnostics just sent as ac203563-bfd9-45bb-b875-148c74afeb99. Thank you!

Hope that info helped! Happy to do whatever else you need.

Hello! Was that info helpful? I know it's low-priority, just checking back in haha

It wasn't that helpful, in that I'm still not sure why it's acting this way.

Do you mind if I connect to your dvr from here and see if I can gather more details?

Sure, that would be fine, as long as nothing gets deleted :slight_smile: haha

The way the HDHomeRun app stores it's recording makes it difficult to import ... What I did was create a TV subfolder in the HdhomeRun folder and move my episodes there. HDhomerun puts all the episodes in the HdHomeRun root folder and movies in a Movie subfolder... makes no sense.

Oh, that's interesting... so if I were to create a tv subfolder, that might work??

Yes and you will still see the recordings in the HDHomeRun App.

What an interesting solution! I might try that if @tmm1 can't find anything odd.

Can you SSH into the QNAP and run this command, then paste the output shown?

ls -alh /shares/
find /shares/HDHomeRun/ -ls | head -50

@tmm1 here you go:

root@MyCloudPR4100 ~ # ls -alh /shares/
drwxrwxrwx    2 root     root           0 Nov  9 13:39 .
drwxr-xr-x   20 root     root           0 Nov  9 20:51 ..
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root          20 Nov  9 13:39 .wdphotos -> /mnt/HD_a4/.wdphotos

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root          13 Nov  9 13:39 Volume_1 -> /mnt/HD/HD_a2

So no output from the second command?

@tmm1 sorry, here's the second command...

@tmm1 Any luck?

Hi there @tmm1 ... just wanted to check back in on this. I know you're busy, but wondering if any progress was discovered?

Nothing yet, sorry. It's on my list.

OK thanks! Just checking in :slight_smile:

Please try the latest pre-release. After upgrade, trigger Scan Sources, then submit diagnostics.

This issue is similar to Local Content Not Working on a Shared Drive on QNAP so hopefully the fix there also applies here.

@tmm1 Hello! It appears to be working! I just updated to 2022.01.10.1847 and hit "Scan Sources" like you said, and now it's scanning the folder. Based on what I'm seeing in the log, it's properly importing everything. I'll circle back if there are any issues. Thank you!!
