MC 3.1.75: Constant problems reading folders/files

Just attempted to start using MC. This program shows alot of promise and the scraping is impressive. However, I think the file management has a ton of issues. I crash all the time. I can get a few folders to work out of my collection but only by trial and error. Here is an example of one that breaks

Y:\media\movies\3.10.to.Yuma.2007.1080p.Bluray.x264.Codres

The files contained w/in

3.10.to.Yuma.2007.1080p.Bluray.x264.Codres.EN.srt
3.10.to.Yuma.2007.1080p.Bluray.x264.Codres.mkv
3.10.to.Yuma.2007.1080p.Bluray.x264.Codres.srt

Of course the exception stack trace is completely worthless since I don't know what the values of any of these variables are:

Try turning off the cache or rebuild movies option, there are bugs in the cache management

As an FYI!

If you are using a ReadyNas with a recent firmware build, there is an issue that has been re-created in their labs but I do not beleive it is listed on their forums as I PM`d the devs directly.

Anyway, under Shares/CIFS uncheck the "Enable Oplocks" options for your shares, this should solve the issue until Netgear find a fix.

EDIT: You must reboot your NAS after doing this for it to work.

Quote :

Opportunistic locking (oplocks) can enhance CIFS performance by allowing files residing on this ReadyNAS to be cached locally on the Windows client, eliminating network latency when files are repeatedly accessed.

MarkC, I have a Netgear Duo, but I don't think I'm experiencing any issues.....oplocks enabled....

Sorry, I should have been more specific.... The problem definately exists on a ReadyNas Pro with the 4.2.8 firmware (may also be there with 4.2.7) it also depends on the size of your library, the issue occurs when MC hits 1044 files so if your library is not that large you may not experience the issue.

Also looks like the Duo runs on a different platform as the firmware is different, this issue may only effect the Pro/NVX/2100/3200.

Yes Duo users at currently limited to 4.2.6...... Thanks

With the possible exception of the actor cache, they should all be working 100% now, I've had no reports of any issues relating to them and I really do reccomend that people leave them enabled. The only errors that should be encountered is when something is changed outside of MC (eg files deleted) that will not be reflected in the cache, this was the purpose of the rebuild option
