Solved Where does Kodi get this file list?
#1
Hi all.

Just installed v. 21, and upon going to "Enter file section," I'm greeted with the file list seen in the attached screen shot. I'm mystified as to what this browser is pointing at, since it's showing iOS simulators next to my user Movies directory. They are not there. There doesn't appear to be any way to reveal the location of these items, so I'm curious as to why they're being shown.

Thanks!

Open Disk Utility and they will be listed under "Disk Images".

Huh! Sure enough, they are. Thanks for the info. I've never seen this before.

They aren't listed anywhere else. Not under /volumes, and they aren't showing up in Finder as volumes in the sidebar. Do you happen to know how they're mounted? And those aren't the only simulators I have installed, which is even more perplexing.

Dont know when it started, but has been happening for a while. another great "usability" change i guess...

Well, I wouldn't quite say it's solved. It's still a mystery as to why these are showing up here, when no other file browser on the system (or the command line) shows them.

I have filed a bug and offered to examine where these volumes are enumerated.

for example, you can see them here:
Code:
> diskutil list
...

/dev/disk3 (disk image):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        +17.4 GB    disk3
   1:                 Apple_APFS Container disk4         17.4 GB    disk3s1

/dev/disk4 (synthesized):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      APFS Container Scheme -                      +17.4 GB    disk4
                                 Physical Store disk3s1
   1:                APFS Volume iOS 17.2 21C62 Simul... 16.9 GB    disk4s1

Yep, that's what's reflected in Disk Utility. But no file browser shows them.
