The idea of starting over getting those films again is pretty painful to me as it took so much time to get them in the first place and it is frustrating because it seems that the files are somewhere on the drive.Back up files from your current PC to an external storage deviceĬonnect your external storage device to your current PC. Obviously there must be some corruption issue going on with the Seagate so this past month I had the time and the extra money to go ahead and buy an 8TB Seagate and I would ideally like to have my whole 1400 movie collection onto it. I feel like there must be a problem with the Seagate and every time I plug it into my laptop it mentions that there is an error and I should scan it and fix it and I do but still no files. So it seems to me the files are obviously there on the Seagate somewhere I just can’t access them in Windows explorer. Now the weird thing to me is when I plug the Seagate back into the Pi all the missing files are there in OSMC and they play perfectly fine although a handful of them are duplicated. I spent two days scanning for deleted files with Disk Drill and didn’t really turn up much useful.
I searched around to see if the files accidentally merged into another folder and they didn’t.
I take the Seagate from the Pi, plug it into my laptop, open my folders in Windows explorer, go to drag the movies in and suddenly the Seagate only has 481 movie files showing, basically all the titles starting with # to I.
I would get the movies then transfer them from my Windows laptop to the Seagate, plug the Seagate back into the Pi and this worked great.īack in January I go to put a handful of movies into the Seagate. I then started off filling up my own home media server and over the past 3 or 4 years have acquired ~1400 movies. Being a pretty serious film nerd I was excited and set up the Pi with OSMC and a 5TB Seagate expansion drive. My brother in law gave me a Raspberry Pi in 2016 after showing me how he has used his to make a home media server. Ok so first off apologies for any astounding gaps in my knowledge here, I am not the most technologically literate person and have searched around for a solution to this issue with no luck and am posting here as a last resort.
