Recording to NAS network mount, files not showing in Windows

Hi,

I have a Synology 1812+ and a network share mounted on my Ubuntu machine to store recordings from tvheadend.

This is the mount setting from my fstab file.
//nas/video/recordings /mnt/recordings cifs username=admin,password=1234asdf,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0

This is the directory listing ls -la. The folder That's fishing is visible in windows the rest isn't.

drwxrwxrwx 3 1024 users 0 May 12 17:59 I Fish
drwxrwxrwx 3 1024 users 0 May 12 00:21 Sabrina The Teenage Witch
drwxrwxrwx 3 1024 users 0 Mar 27 01:57 That's Fishing
-rwxrwxrwx 1 1024 users 27136 Jan 23 20:38 Thumbs.db

From Ubuntu when I make a directory manually, it shows up in the file share fine on my windows PC. When tvheadend saves its recording, it only shows up in Ubuntu and Synology Filestation internally. It does not show up on my windows machine. If i copy the file to the folder I created via SSH, the file would then show fine in Windows.

Anyone know why? I am suspecting the cause is the username which TVheadend is using to store the recording is creating some problem on the NAS.

Can't say I like that UID/GID combination. The way to test that would be to simply chown/chgrp the files and see if they suddenly appear in Windows.

I tried changing it and still doesn't work.

Since the group and username are the same throughout all the directories and "That's Fishing" is showing up in windows. It sort of saying it might not be a user ownership or group issue

Hmmmm...

I looked on the Synology web site because I had some problems with my old Syno box (now retired) in which files disappeared on a rename. Might be worth some more searching/digging.

What if you create a post-processing script that simply copies the file(s) after recording to, say, <recordingname>_1.ts? Or just touches them to update the timestamp? Or processes them in some way? Or, or, or...?
