[mythtv-users] Storage Groups and Missing Covers

[Doug Lytle]

Hey everybody,

I've been trying to figure out why, in mythweb, when viewing movies that 
I've ripped, it's showing 'Missing Cover'.

I've verified that the symlinks for video and video_cover, that is 
located in /var/www/html/mythweb/data is accessible and the permissions 
are correct.

If I use mythweb to assign the cover art, it will let me to browse the 
local file system and then I can assign a picture. The cover art does go 
into the video_cover directory on the backend with the correct permissions.

One thing that comes to mind is that I'm using storage groups and I've 
eliminated my NFS mounts when I moved over to 22-fixes.

Searching the wiki on storage groups, I've come across:


      "Storage Groups

Videos in Myth can now be stored on the backend and streamed to the 
frontend without a NFS or Samba mount. It is critical to note that the 
Storage Group implementation is /not/ complete, and to take that into 
consideration when weighing whether to move to MythVideo Storage Groups. 
Hopefully the transition to Storage Groups will be complete for MythTV 
.24, so this should be taken as a technology preview release only.

Disadvantages

    * External Video Players (mplayer, xine, VLC) will *not work* with
      videos hosted on an SG.
    * ISO/VIDEO_TS Playback *does not presently work* in Storage Groups."


Should this also include mythweb cover art, or do I need to look 
elsewhere for this problem?
