Librelec is mounting HDD in media/ and var/media folder

1st Official Post

    Hi,

    I have a problem that Kodi is recognizing some of my files twice. I have a series and kodi is marking epsiodes in /media/hdd and in var/media/hdd when i plugin the hdd. Therefore the episodes appear twice in Kodi. But its not doing it for all files on the hdd only 2 seriesfolders. Somebody has an idea how to fix this?

    thx

    It's not that we don't believe you but certain logging is always helpful. If you have access to SSH, give the URLs of the following commands:

    Code
    blkid | pastebinit
mount | pastebinit
dmesg | pastebinit
pastebinit ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log

    Also, /var should not be taken into consideration for a video source at all. /var is part of the readonly system partition. LibreELEC only uses /storage and subsequent subfolders as user space.

    /media is symbolic link to /var/media

    Code
    LibreELEC:~ # ls -al /media
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            10 Aug  3 20:18 /media -> /var/media

    and this is perfectly fine. Your problems didn't happen because of this.
