The folder has a + not a space

[jingai]

Does it exist exactly as specified (replacing the space with a plus); that is, does:

Code:

cd /Qmultimedia/Pictures/iPhoto Library.photolibrary//Previews/2013/03/14/20130314-211045/FA6N3u5fQR+XCQpxOlYc9A/

work? And is there a file called IMG_1374.jpg there?

Obviously do this on your NAS. If Qmultimedia isn't at /, prefix the path with wherever it is.

edit: To make absolutely certain.. you're running my iPhoto addon version 2.1.4, correct?

Can you try re-importing your iPhoto Library (selecting <<< Update Library >>>) and then send me the log file again please.

[jingai]

yes indeed my library is referenced.It took me some time to get the paths set-up, but maybe thats still the root cause. From your read me instructions I could note exactly figure out which will be the right path settings. Could you please send me an example. My library is sitting on a NAS with NFS

In the addon settings under General, you would uncheck Managed Library.

Then set the "Local root path to Masters" to the path as seen by the Mac running iPhoto. That is, probably something like /Volumes/MyNAS/Pictures/

Note this is the path to your masters, not to the iPhoto Library.

Set the rewrite path to how this particular machine (the one running XBMC) would access that same path, such as smb://user:[email protected]/Pictures/

where 192.168.1.10 is the IP address of your NAS. Obviously change smb to whatever you use, such as nfs, afp, etc.

Yes the images are definitely in the folders specified, with a +

I'm running 2.1.4 for certain.

Re-imported the library as requested. Also selected another image that doesn't display. It also has a + in the last folder name that shows as a space in the log.

Thanks.

Unfortunately I really don't know what's going on here. It displays a few other images you have with pluses in their filenames just fine. I think it may just be displaying it like that in the log file..

Last thing I can think to try before I think I'd have to ask you for a copy of your AlbumData.xml (if you want to share it with me): is this maybe a permissions issue on those files?

edit: show me the output of this if you're not sure what I mean by that:

Code:

ls -al /Qmultimedia/Pictures/iPhoto Library.photolibrary//Previews/2013/03/14/20130314-211045/FA6N3u5fQR+XCQpxOlYc9A/

Seem to be the same as all the others

[jingai]

And you're connecting to the SMB share as 'lloydy', yes?

What do the permissions look like for one of the files that work OK?

Connecting as lloydy yes

Same permissions as other files

Hrmm.. if you're not opposed to the idea, you can send me either your AlbumData.xml from the iPhoto Library folder or the iphoto.db file from the addon_data folder in XBMC. Unfortunately, since I don't see any consistent pattern (other files with symbols in them seem to work OK for you) and I can't reproduce it here, it's kind of difficult for me to say what's going on..

Hello. I have not had much time to get this plugin working recently, but I had a little time today. I get this error in the log when I try to explore events. Can you please help? Thanks.

signal.quest, first of all, what version of XBMC and my plugin are you using?

Second, I'd need to see the complete log. Even better, if you're willing, a copy of your AlbumData.xml from within the iPhoto Library folder would help me identify the cause quickly.

edit: Also, what version of iPhoto?

[signal.quest]

Jingai, thanks for your help. Is there any privacy concerns to providing the AlbumData.xml? If not, I will provide. How can I get these files to you? Via email? Thanks.

It doesn't contain the images themselves, but it does contain names and geotags if you use the Faces and Places features of iPhoto. I understand if you consider those private.

The best way to send the file would be to post it to a file sharing site (like DropBox) and PM me the link.

If you choose not to send the XML, I will need to see your complete XBMC debug log. Be sure to enable debugging and try the operation that fails for you.

[signal.quest]

I will be sending you a PM with my files. I am running version 2.1.4 of your software. I am running XBMC 12.2. 32-bit ubuntu. 3.5.0-31 kernel.
