Newer files written to a shared folder are unaccesable using Windows Explorer
Newer files written to a shared folder are unaccesable using Windows
Explorer DESCRIPTION: ============= I own an HTPC with a very old video capture card (no broadcast flag) that records television shows in either MPG1 or MPG2 format. The HTPC dumps all of the files that it records into a shared folder which is accessable from all of the computers on my home network. Now all of the files written to the folder by the video capture software before the month of October are accessable over the network. All of the files written to the folder by the video capture card are visable using Windows Explorer but are not accessable using Windows Explorer or any type of media player. Blowing away the share and re-creating it dosent resolve the issue. The files are also not corrupt and are playable upon my workstations if I initiate the file transfer from the HTPC instead of from one of the workstations. The kicker is that while I cant access any of these newer files using Windows Explorer, I'm able to access ALL of the files using IIS 5.0. TROUBLESHOOTING: ================== This happened once before and I was able to resolve the issue by doing an FDISK, reformating and rebuilding the PC. Unfortunately the problem came back at about the same time that I installed FFDShow, Made some changes to the MPEG1 and 2 capture settings, installed IIS and enabled web sharing. I thought that the capture card software might have a lock on the files so I created a new folder and moved all of the files over to the new one. The files moved to the new folder without any problems. I deleted the old folder, renamed the new one to the name of the old one and shared it out with "everyone" access. I'm still able to access all of the files that were written prior to October but none of the files that were written after October. I'm able to upload files to this shared folder and then download these same files. I'm just not able to access files written to the folder by the capture card and ATI multimedia software. I tried killing every single process that I could get away with killing in Task Manager without taking the system down, apparently none of these applications are the cause of my problems. I thought that IIS might be locking the files so I turned off IIS - nothing happened. Next I disabled the web share, and after rebooting was I still unable to access the files. The odd thing is that I'm able to access the files using IIS but I'm unable to access the files using a web share. SYMPTOMS: =========== - All files written prior to October in the same folder are accessable from within Windows Explorer, IIS 5.0 or Windows Media Player. All files written after October "in the same folder" are not accessable unless your using IIS 5.0. For example, "The Batman006.mpg" is viewable and accessable from the same folder that the file "The Batman007.mpg" is stored, but I can access 006 accross the network and not 007. - Windows Explorer generates the following error when I attempt to drag and drop the file to one of my two workstations: Cannot copy [File Name]: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use. - Windows Media Player Generates an error: "C00D11D2: Cannot access the file" - ZoomPlayer generates an error: Unable to play [File Name] This may be due to a corrupt file, missing filters, filter conflicts or other hardware issues. HARDWA ============ Home Theater PC Windows XP Pro SP2 | File Sharing Windows Media Player 10 IIS 5 AMD 1300+ 512MB PC 133 CAS2 80 GB PATA 133 Maxtor 8MB Cache 7200 RPM 10/100 Generic Network Card ATI ALl-In-Wonder 128 16MB Workstation 1 PC Windows XP Pro SP2 Windows Media Player 10 AMD 3200+ 64bit 1GB DDR 400 PC3200 CAS2 200 GB SATA 150 Maxtor 8MB Cache 7200 RPM 250 GB SATA 150 Maxtor 8MB Cache 7200 RPM 10/1000 3COM Network Card ATI 9800 128 MB Workstation 2 PC Windows XP Pro SP 2 Windows Media Player 10 Intel 3.0 GHz 1GB DDR 400 PC3200 CAS2.5 80 GB PATA 133 Maxtor 8MB Cache 7200 RPM 10/1000 Dell Network Card NVIDIA GeForce 5200 128 MB Any ideas folks?

wrote: Newer files written to a shared folder are unaccesable using Windows Explorer The first possible explanation that comes to mind is that the folder's access rights have been changed and a required access right has been removed. Since new files inherit these rights, all new files cannot be accessed. Check the access rights. If that's not it, another possible cause is a defective codec. Since Windows Explorer seems to use the codecs when you click on a file, files can get inaccessible that way. Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |

Thank you for your suggestion Hans-Georg.
Unfortunately this is not appear to be the case because when I create a new share and move the accessable and unaccessable files to it I have the same problem. This is not a codec issue because while I've tried to stream the files I'm also not able to MOVE the files from the HTPC to one of the workstations using Windows Explorer. The same files that are inaccessable are accessable if I initiate a file copy using Windows Explorer from the HTPC instead of from one of the workstations.

Newer files written to a shared folder are unaccesable using Windows Explorer
Thanks for your suggestions Carsyn...
I've tried disabling the web share and turning off IIS, unfortunately this step does not resolve my issue. I'll try the clean boot / error check the disc today. "Carsyn Gu [MSFT]" wrote in message ... Hi Marc, Thanks for your reply. Firstly, please disable web share on the folder to see if it is helpful. If the above step doesn't help, please perform clean boot and error check on the disk. Clean Boot Your Computer ------------------------ To clean boot your computer, use the appropriate method for your version of Windows. Microsoft Windows XP: 1. Click Start, click Run, type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in the Open box, and then click OK. 2. On the General tab, click Selective Startup, and then clear all of the subsequent check boxes. You will not be able to clear the Use Original BOOT.INI check box. 3. Click OK, and then click Restart to restart your computer. NOTE: The screen may appear different when the computer is started in Clean Boot mode (the icon become large ¡*). Please do not be alarmed. This is only for test purpose. We can easily return to the normal Startup mode by repeating the steps (to Step 2) and choose "Normal Startup". After Windows starts, follow these steps to manually start Windows Installer service (which is required for Picture It! installation). 1. Click Start, and then right-click My Computer. 2. On the shortcut menu, click Manage. 3. In the left pane of the Computer Management window, click Services and Applications, and then click Services. 4. In the right pane, scroll down to Windows Installer, and then right-click Windows Installer. 5. On the shortcut menu, click Start. For more information about Windows XP Clean Boot, please refer to the following article: Q310353 How to Perform a Clean Boot in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q310/3/53.asp Please perform the above steps to perform clean boot of your system at your convenience.

You have to copy them instead of moving. Copying and moving are very different in this respect, because when you move a file (or a folder), it keeps its access rights. If, however, you copy a file (or folder, or create a new one), the new copy inherits its access rights from the containing folder. Hans-Georg p.s. I'm off and may not be able to reply until Monday. -- No mail, please. |
