Poster/fanart on remote share vs local - my4keys82 - 2013-12-20 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? RE: Poster/fanart on remote share vs local - Kib - 2013-12-20 As far as i know it should show poster and fanart from rremote shares. RE: Poster/fanart on remote share vs local - ricarva - 2014-01-31 Any update on this? I think I'm seeing the same behaviour... Poster/fanart on remote share vs local - Cranial - 2014-01-31 Not a windows guy, but what app is adding the movie images etc? Perhaps file permission issues showing up under smb? RE: Poster/fanart on remote share vs local - parslej - 2014-03-01 Same for me tried everything and same issue as author of this thread: SMB://path_to_poster -> doesnt work Mapping share as eg Z: letter and putting z:\path_to_poster -> works well Can not be permission issue (same share mapped as Z: drive works) - then what's wrong ?? ** EDIT ** Got some sucess re this actually Thanks this: http://xbmc-commander.com/page2/page9/page9.html Ive added pswd info to passwords.xml and seems starting working! Than looks that pswd is not passed from source to thoubnails ?
