Hey, briand's instructions are backwards.
You typed this:
ln -s /home/users/.canola/youtube/videos/ /media/mmc1/youtube/
You need to type this:
ln -s /media/mmc1/youtube /home/users/.canola/youtube/videos
I didn't catch it that those instructions were backwards.
The format is:
ln -s <source> <destination>

I also typed a space after /media/mmc1/youtube was I supposed to?
reply is ln: /home/users/.canola/youtube/videos: No such file or directory
thanks for your help but still stumped.

Yes, there are spaces, they just don't show up well because of the fonts.
I'm thinking maybe a bad mv earlier might have done something.
I know you don't want to, but you''re going to have to do some ls's to find this out.
Let's start with:
ls /home/users/.canola
And see if there is a youtube directory there.
If not, try the same with "user" instead of "users".
desiv
p.s "ls" can be your friend. :-)

When I typed ls/ home/users/.canola the reply is No such file or directory
But, when I typed ls /home/user/.canola the reply is a list (of directories or folders?) that looks like this
canola.db prefs version
covers theme video_thumbs
plugins.pickle tmp youtube
So, should I follow your previous direction (suggesting I reverse the source and destination) using the work "user" instead of "users" ?
thanks

Yep, that's it.
It looks like the videos directory is already gone.
So you should just have to do the new ln, with the word user.
desiv
p.s. Yeah, it's /home/user/.canola on my tablet.

Just a thought, could you edit your original post that had that to show the correct ln format, and also change the "users" to "user", to save some other newbies.
Although, I think it's been pretty educational, so maybe not. :-)
Take it easy.

desiv, thanks for taking the time to help me. I really appreciate it. That seemed to have worked...at least I didn't get an error reply.
However, I still get a "no space left on device" error message far too often when trying to play a video. Not sure why as there is plenty of space on my MMC card and that's where everything should be cached if I did eveything correctly.
Guess this is one for the developers.

ls /home/users/.canola/youtube/videos -al
I know, it's something that's off the wall and never been suggested before, but humor me.
