[Bug]: Entire library lost after playback, rescrapes automatically

HDGuy commented 1 year ago

Problem description

This one is a major issue, been happening on my Nvidia Shield 2019 Pro with the last two versions or so- almost every time I play back a video my entire (rather sizable) library of scraped titles disappears (using SMB off a NAS) and Nova starts rescraping automatically again. I’m not sure if this happens only when I’m using an external player (JustPlayer or Vimu) or it happens when I’m using the internal player.

I deleted Nova and reinstalled but it is still happening.

At this point I would use another player but there really isn’t any other options on the Shield that scrapes titles with Trakt integration that doesn’t stutter (Kodi).

Hopefully this gets resolved soon as it’s a rather annoying bug.

FYI: I fixed my Trakt login problem- AdGuard was autostarting and was blocking login.

@HDGuy unfortunately this does not happen to me on my nvidia shield 2019 with synology SMB NAS (and other devices). It should not be related but does your NAS change IP? It could also be linked to nova media library being corrupted somehow but I never saw it happen (yet). I would probably need adb logcat on this one to figure out what is happening. Good to know about your trakt issue.

Next time it happens I will upload logcat.

I’m using UnRaid but my NAS has a static address so that shouldn’t me the issue.

Separate issue which I’m still having with a OpenMediaVailt NAS which Nova sees but doesn’t show any drives as being available. Everything else works with it.

Also, if I mount a NAS directly to my Shield from the Storage settings menu, when I access the drives from Nova it shows them all as being empty.

Thx for the answers. I will wait for your logcat and other user reports too.

Concerning the other points, we are mixing discussion of several issues which is not a good practice on github. Nevertheless:

regarding mounting NAS shares on shield, due to Android 11 restrictions (scoped storage and that MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is normally not granted to media player on Google Play (except for vlc, this rule does not apply to file managers), only multimedia files will be made visible to nova if and only if these are indexed by the Android framework media library. In your case you need to configure the nvidia shield to index the mounted folder (there is an option) and this should fix your issue
regarding OpenMediaVault NAS, I trust you are not using SMB1 (there seems to be a regression in latest release): have you tried to add manually the URI/shortcut (i.e. not through normal browsing)? If I have time I will try to get one running to reproduce.

What would be interesting is to get is the android media id of your collection before and after a whole rescan is triggered. I.e. you could save now the result of: adb shell content query --uri "content://media/external/video/media" --projection _id:_data and do it after you get this annoying rescan as well and compare _id (or alternatively send both files to me).

What I am trying to figure out is if this is not android that does a change of _id (for some reasons to be determined) causing nova rightfully to trigger a global rescan.

How do I collect the info you need? Do I need to SSH into the Shield? I haven’t tried to do that before.

In order to do adb you need to follow https://github.com/nova-video-player/aos-AVP/wiki/Debugging i.e. enable adb debugging through dev settings and then connect through adb networking with the IP of your shield. Afterwards all commands can be done through your PC when you have all the adb tools installed.

This just happened to me now on my Sony Google tv. I had to do a reinstall after it stopped scraping new videos. That solved that issue, but now today when I started it up, I could see all of my movies for a second and then they disappeared and a new scan started. Also a pretty sizeable collection on a local storage USB HDD.

courville commented 1 year ago

@Wickedmoose306, I believe this issue is a different one since it relies on SMB shares (at least I have the exact same configuration of @HDGuy) and not an USB HDD and the indexing process on nova is different between local storage and network shares.

Could be linked to #844

I think so too. @HDGuy are you still experiencing this with the latest release?
