xbmc_mythlink.py script not finding recordings

[Richard Kershenbaum]

Hi, Marc. I stumbled upon your page today, and I'm trying to
configure my systems so that I can use the Library View with my MythTV
(MythDora 12.23) backend. I'm excited about getting this working!

But I've run into a glitch. When I run xbmc_mythlink.py on my backend
system, I get hundreds of these:

Skipping non-existant file /storage2/recordings
2191_20101116190000.mpg
Skipping non-existant file /storage2/recordings
2191_20101116210000.mpg
Skipping non-existant file /storage/recordings
2192_20101117130000.mpg
Skipping non-existant file /storage2/recordings
2191_20101117190000.mpg

As you can see, I have two storage directories, configured as one
Storage Group. The script seems to be looking in the wrong directory
some or all of the time. A file that it does not find in the /storage/
recordings directory does exist in the /storage2/recordings directory,
and vice versa.

Do I have something configured incorrectly? I'm not having any
problem viewing the programs with a MythTV frontend, or with XBMC in
file mode.

Thanks for a great program, and for any help you might be able to
provide with this issue!

hi Richard, I only have one disk in my storage group, so the bug is
probably related to your having more than one. Please run the script
with the "-debug" flag set, redirect stdout to a file and post it.
Hopefully this will help me figure out the problem.
