Serviio

I have following problem since version 1.7

Files with one word are correctly shown on the DNLA device.
For example Nikita.avi is shown as "Nikita"

All other files with more than one word or with a special sign like "é" or "'" or "-" are shown twice: one with the correct title, another with a FAT-Name
For example with "Jason Bourne.avi" i find in log:
017-01-15 17:21:51,020 INFO [MediaFileIndexer] Updated 'JASONB~1' (C:\Users\Laurent\Videos\JASONB~1.AVI) in Library (the file doesn't exist on my computer)
2017-01-15 17:29:42,973 INFO [MediaFileIndexer] Updated 'Jason Bourne' (C:\Users\Laurent\Videos\Jason Bourne.avi) in Library
if i rename it in "JasonBourne" the Fat Name is not shown anymore, but back in "Jason Bourne2 it is shown twice again

For example too with the file Noah, in french: "Noé"
2017-01-15 18:01:40,885 INFO [MediaFileIndexer] Updated 'NO1C25~1' (C:\Users\Laurent\Videos\NO1C25~1.AVI) in Library
2017-01-15 18:02:06,641 INFO [MediaFileIndexer] Updated 'Noé' (C:\Users\Laurent\Videos\Noé.avi) in Library

I have now the 1.8 version but it is still the same
With version before 1.7 it worked fine; I think it shoud be a Problem with the code or the new Java applet

I have seen this before on this forum. It was something to do with the file system on your PC and that the files were there actually twice (once properly and once with the fat32 short format).

Hi Petr

what i founded on the forum wasn't completed or solved.
This happen with the version 1.7
i founded the 1.6 and installed it again: no Problem
with 1.7 or 1.8 there is the Problem.

Perhaps could you give me an advice what should be controlled on the file system ?
Thanks

I have no clue, tbh. But the other user had the same problem with 1.6, so I'd assume it's not related to the Serviio version.

Hi Petr,

here the soltion for all the people having the same Problem:
Using the cmd prompt "dir /x" on the Video volume you see all the 8.3 names created from Windows (and read from serviio since Version 1.7)

There are two Things to do:

1) Disable the creation of the 8.3 names on the volume:
change the registry key HKLM\system\CurrentControlSet\Control\Filesystem\NtfsDisabled8dot3NameCreation to 1
(no 8.3 Name creation on the whole PC anymore)

2) Remove the already creates 8.3 names on the Video volume:
run fsutil.exe Strip <directoryname>
Using the dir /x you may see that alle the 8.3 names are removed (log in %appdata% in local\temp)

And starting from here Serviio shows only the long title names (for the addes files too)

Regards

great, thanks for sharing
