 I have folders with hundreds of videos.  When I "Scan for Changes",
 mythvideo will find only some of them, and if I scan again, it will find a
 different set of files.  It seems to alternate between scans as to which
 set is displayed after a scan.


 Each scan takes a number of minutes as it processes the same set of files
 each time.  When it was working correctly, subsequent scans would complete
 quicker unless new files had been added.


 Investigation shows that the files are in the videometadata table and seem
 correct.  During the scan, mythvideo seems to think that the filename has
 changed and updates the table (though no change to the filename has really
 been made).  I was unable to work out a pattern to which filenames are
 shown and which are not.

 It seems to be the logic for how the files are selected for displaying in
 the list? I have confirmed that no filters are active.

 Also, just to confirm, the files have extensions that are known to
 mythvideo and have not set to ignore.  Filenames generally have .mpg,
 .mkv, .avi etc extensions.  It does not seem to be related to the
 extension type.

 The files are actually on a Windows server and the folders have been
 mounted using the CIFS filesystem.  There does not appear to be any
 differences between ownership and/or permissions that would account for
 this behavior.

 I am using the latest 0.24 autobuild from mythbuntu.  I did not see this
 problem when I was using 0.23.

 regards,

 Ron
