No Cover Art showing for TV Shows?

If you haven't specifically input your user/pass in XBMC (i.e. if you always put it in the URL, rather than waiting for XBMC to prompt you for it) then XBMC's authentication manager doesn't know about it.

If you have a passwords.xml every url gets prefixed with user/pass iirc. Nonetheless we should fix this in the skin.

Correct - but passwords.xml is only filled if you specifically input your user/pass when prompted by XBMC. If the user/pass directly in the source URL (or during source addition) then XBMC doesn't have it in passwords.xml. This, ofcourse, is something that XBMC should remedy - at least in the case where the user adds a source and fills in the user/pass fields.

I don't think you can fix it in the skin?

We are using a temporary skin.string to set the backgrounds. After unload of the dialog we use that temporary skin.string to set the path for the items background skin.string. I thought thats where the sanitized path is coming from.

no, that´s nothing we can fix at our end.

This is exactly what my issue was. I have a NAS that has 1 single share, in that share I have separate folders, Movies, TV, Music, Photos and inside those I have a properly structured tree for it's media type. I simple use XBMC to add the single share as a media source via:

SMB
name: 1.1.1.200
share: media
username: xbmc
password: iputthepasswordhere

Then, to add other sources, say media type TV I simple browse my sources, choose the media share and select the TV folder. Since XBMC maps the share on boot with a saved username/password I assumed that it would use that authentication for that source.

I'll look into setting up a password.xml so I don't have to open my share to "everyone"

thanks guys!
