I'm running the most recent snapshot from here: http://repo.or.cz/w/pyTivo/wmcbrine.git (log comment "Neater.").

A quick video test works fine. But I traverse photos and never see photos. A directory with photos and sub-dirs shows the sub-dirs. When I get to a directory with only photos, I see "This folder does not contain any viewable photos". When I return from that it throws an exception.

If anyone could recommend a version with a confirmed working photo module, I'd appreciate it. We've got people coming over tomorrow and we want to show photos.

wtf??

Is this a separate photo share with "type = photo"??

It looks like video.py is being called which seems odd.

[tlc]

OK, weird. It's working now, but how it got working...

I had video share [Mastershake] and photo share [Mastershake Images]. Based on you pointing out the video was being called, I changed to [Mastershake_Images]. Same problem.

So I tried [Images] and it worked. I thought "no way they're substring matching" and tried [Mastershake_Images] again (which worked this time) then [Mastershake Images] again which also worked.

I'm quite sure I'm only running one copy and restarted it after each change. There's not a cache stored across invocations is there? Because before all this I had mistakenly configured both shares to be [Mastershake].

Thanks,

yeah there are a few places where we use "startswith" to catch things. We have been trying to clean them up but i suspect one or two is still out there.

In the mean time i would recommend not using shares that start with the same name.

[wmcbrine]

Argh. Yes, I'd fixed armooo's first "startswith", for send_file(), but missed the second one, for QueryContainer(). Fixed now in my repo.

cool thanks, I will merge that it.
