CasperCG Media Scanner status is bad, can`t get it work

[Ronvaknins]

hi i`v been trying to load folder, but it dosen't seems to load it to the playlist, i tried Server 2.2 , and server 2.0.7 . the media scanner is always bad, is there any way to fix that? this is my config file , also tried entering 127.0.0.1 instead of "localhost"

am i missing somthing?

Thanks!

You need to use this fork of mediascanner: https://github.com/nrkno/tv-automation-media-scanner

It would also be best to user Server 2.1.11 NRK: https://github.com/nrkno/tv-automation-casparcg-server/

hi thanks!!, iv added folder to the schedule but it seems like its isn't added to the playlist, is there any video or anything on how to run it? when i save it the date and time resets, did i input the time value right?

You can't use absolute paths, only paths relative to the media folder as used by CasparCG will work.

You have to click "add daterange" and "add time" before they are actually added to the entry. Then you click the save icon in the right top to actually save the schedule for playout.

Ps: you only have to select the days if you want it to not play every day

thanks i`v i understand the time is hh:mm:ss formated and about the path you mean the CasperCG media folder in the server? the input should be like this? "media/"

or

the server full path on the windows? "C:\CasperCG\casparcg-server-2.2.0-stable-windows\media"

or http://127.0.0.1:8000/media

sorry for all the questions i'm new to casperCG still learning how it works (also fresh computer science student)

can you send me a picture of a settings example for the scheduler?

thanks!

In the screenshot you see I have a schedule entry for a folder called clips, in Explorer I have my CasparCG media folder opened and as you can see there is a folder called clips. That's the folder it will play. In my case the media folder is "Documents/CasparCG/media" but as you can see I do not include this in the folderplayout schedule.
