Air Video Linux install erased all my videos

Hi I've just installed the Air Video 2.0 alpha on my Ultra 2 and it appears to have erased *all* my videos, including blu ray iso rips etc.
The only folder in my video folder is and Air Video folder.

I already had a videos folder on my readynas - does Air Video create it's own videos folder and trash the one that was there?

Can anyone tell me what's going on here please?

    What version of RAIDiator are you running?

    There is a known bug with 4.2.19. The data should still be there.

    Try renaming the media share then rename it back again.
  • Good grief. You are right!

    Looks like this is has been an ongoing saga for quite some time.

    Now to trawl through masses of forum messages to work out how to fix it.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I think this signals ditching the Readynas for something that doesn't require a degree in programming.

    If you update to 4.2.20 (currently in beta) which is due out soon the issue won't reoccur.
