View Full Version : Library - This file is no longer available - Some Ideas

This was added recently. While it is generally a good idea, it would be even better to let users choose their preference to this function.

I'm bringing this up because now you can't browse any seasons or episodes from TV shows (didn't test Music, but Movies should not be affected as their are separated titles) in Library with current behavior if TV Show is located on Removable HDD, Unreachable NAS...

It's logical to me that if I have removable drive I want to be able browse through my library even before I turn on NAS, plug removable drive etc.

These options come to my mind:
- Default option as it is now.
- Inform user every time they want to browse an offline item (TV show/Season/etc) but let them display content of that item (after clicking NO).
- Turn it completely off - user can browse everything freely

Also maybe there can be another little improvement of this window by including another row which would display the path of the no longer available file/folder.

You should be able to browse whether the files are there or not.

If not, it's been added to the incorrect function - folders should not be affected.

I suspect the addition was supposed to go in OnPlayMedia() or whatever it is, instead of OnClick()

Cheers,

I had this problem with the latest SVN build and, even though my TV Shows were accessible, XBMC reported that it was no longer available every time I tried to enter a season.

Should be fixed in r18710.

thanks for the fix, OnPlayMedia makes much more sense. :nod:

I'm just getting blank screens whenever I try to enter Movies, TV Shows or Music now.

I have absolutely no issues browsing existing files here. Is there anything special I need to take care of while testing?

Nonetheless, I will move the entire function/check so it will only check for files not folders.

I just gotta say I love this new feature. I just noticed it yesterday. I'd like to have a function that will WOL a device that may be off holding the content.

I don't think what I'm experiencing is to do with this actually because it's happening for Videos and Pictures as well. I've tried MediaStream and that's the same, only PM3HD gets any further but that screws up when I go to change the layout as can only switch between that and the scrollbar.

Yeah, might be related to another commit from today. Is mouse navigation working for you?

Mouse does work for PS3HD.

I'm using Jester build from the 17th.

One of my movie says it's not there, but it is.

This same type of bug or am I'm just losing my mind?

@Hitcher, what about the other skins?
@warwon, upgrade to the latest build (from today).

Hitcher

Other skins (MediaStream and Aeon Stark) just show a blank screen when I try to enter any media from the home screen.

Looking at the debug log could this be the cause -

ERROR: exception in CApplication::FrameMove()

It's a known issue. It won't be fixed for at least 24 hours by me.

Someone else is welcome to revert the two revisions (r18711/r18712) if they get pissed off with you lot demanding that SVN should always be in a working state - I can't do this either right at the moment.

Cheers,
Jonathan

No worries JM, I always backup the build I'm using in case there's any problems.
