Use the IP ... don't use the **** netbios names which have a 20% chance to get resolved in a lan with multiple windows mashines ...

Just to butt in, the wiki is lacking on this topic. Does path substitution work for NFS and AFP connections as well now?

[Memphiz]

Yes it should. I'm using it - but i've read somewhere that there might be problems when scraping and having NFS pathsubstitution in place and the source is also NFS.

I don't scrape with XBMC (but with external tool) and have NFS substituion and NFS sources in use - without a problem (and i couldn't reproduce the problems with scraping - this all works for me ...)

Sweet. I've been using a thumbnails symlink to my NAS from the MBP I use to manage the library. I also do my scraping with an external tool.

The ATV2 I've been using path substitution to access all of said thumbnails, and it's been working well.

If I switch to using path substitution on the MBP it should scrape everything to the external thumbs path no problems?

Still no clue what it was.
Updated the ATV2 to iOSv4.4.4 and reinstalled everything to Eden Beta, now it works.

Stupid machine!!
Thank you for your help.

NFS does work but it's much slower than using smb for path substitution, at least on my Mac mini. Using NFS for video source and smb for path substitution is much faster.

Thanks toiva. I'll do some testing when the box gets some downtime.
