MSHEETDIR migration guide

[crazy_ivan_1]

Hi,

Im asking for help as although i can get msheets working, as I stated in another post, they work inconsistently with some showing the movie sheet as the folder sheet. I was advised to try migrating to msheetsdir.

I followed the instructions on page 1 of this topic. My USB gets populated with the files. I remove the other files but i dont get any pictures loading.

What am i doing wrong

Your problem is based on a bug in linksheets script.
Migrating to MSHEETDIR won't help with your problem as long as linksheets is still generating the links...

there's a new linksheets script in this same forum that claims to fix the issue, if you know how to can give it a try
or you can just use a file renamer

I noticed that i have 2 files for each movie in my MSHEETDIR directory, there are 2 copies with different file extensions for each movie. For example for Batman.mkv i have 2 files one named Batman (no file extension) and one named Batman.mkv. They are both the exact same file with a different name, i was wondering why there are 2?

Also if a add a new movie to my library do i need to make the equivalent 2 files....just seems redundent that there are 2. I'm affraid to experiment in case i break something

1 file is the folder sheet
&
1 file is the movie sheet

so if you have files and folders then yes you need both

btw MSHEETDIR migration guide only copies & formats existing sheets for you
it doesn't create anything new

so when you add a movie, you'll want to create the 2 sheets that you always do, and just rename them
for use with MSHEETDIR

Maybe it's not very clear on the first page of this post, but we did tell you a couple of times now:

If you want to have a consistent path which does not change by any means between reboots, enable EarlyMounts for that drive and reference it's location under /tmp/mnt/... NOT /tmp/media/usb/...

You shouldn't have to touch /tmp/MSHEETDIR atall! That is a file used for internal scripts, if it has the wrong content you did something wrong during setup.
Changing that file is most likely not going to solve your problem atall.

I have fw 1.05.04 0.5.1.1. Using MsheetDIR in tmp/mnt/mysusb2 drive. My movies are in NAS running media server and network share. Populated my movie sheets from /msheet to my usb drive. I am also using the fast linksheet.pl, s00user-script and .mnt file.

I have found that:
1. I need to select network share to my movies for the movie sheet to be displayed after the led start/stop blinking. Although I have early mount the usb thumbdrive.
2. After selected through network share option, all my movie sheet can be displayed when selected through media player OSD option.

With this findings, is there any way to display the movie sheet through the media server option without first accessing the network share option.

Thanks
