Hi, I wonder if someone could advise me on poster and fanart support under windows.
I have a windows samba server with movies on. Each movie is in it's own folder with the following file naming conventions:
/movies/FilmNameA/FilmNameA (year).mkv
/movies/FilmNameA/FilmNameA (year).nfo
/movies/FilmNameA/FilmNameA (year)-poster.jpg
/movies/FilmNameA/FilmNameA (year)-fanart.jpg
/movies/FilmNameB/ etc...
If I add smb://IP_ADDRESS/movies as a network share via samba then the movie posters and fanart don't show up. If I map the samba share as a drive letter and add this then the fanart and posters do show. So I guess XBMC wants to treat remote shares differently for optimization reasons maybe?
Is there a way I can force XBMC to use the posters and fanart from the samba share?
