Fixed circular symlink not picked up by Kodi

Hey all,

I have a backend server (“ginny”) running samba and mysql. I have and several frontends configured to reference this backend. The problem is only present on one frontend, though all of the frontends all have identical advancedsettings.xml files.

At one point I mistakenly created a I created a circular symlink on the samba file server “/TV Shows/Penn and Teller Bullshit/Season 08/”. Although I fixed it, I didn’t fix it until after Kodi scanned the path, and I’m still getting output in the one frontend’s Kodi logs indicating Kodi still thinks the path(s) exist.

On the frontend in question, I get output like this:

It looks like Kodi has a database local to the frontend that the scanner is referencing. What’s the right way to fix this?

Thanks in advance
