Hi
I am busy changing from using a smb share from my Qnap nas to a FTP.
I am now having a few issues.
1. No TV shows have any folder thumbnails/fanart
2. Movie sets dont have any thumbnails/fanart at all
3. Instead of the movie posters (dvd covers), a movie scene is displayed as the thumbnail
I have added the follwing script to the advanced settings .xml
<advancedsettings>
<audio>
<defaultplayer>dvdplayer</defaultplayer>
</audio>
<pathsubstitution>
<substitute>
<from>special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/</from>
<to>smb://xbmc:[email protected]/Public/XBMC/Thumbnails/</to>
</substitute>
</pathsubstitution>
</advancedsettings>
I use media companion to scrape all info. Each Movie is saved in its own folder
share/movie title
the following are it's contents
movie title.mkv (or other)
movie title.nfo
movie title.tbn
movie title-fanart.jpg
share/tv show
fanart.jpg
folder.jpg
tv show Sxx.Exx episode title.container
tv show Sxx.Exx episode title.nfo
tv show Sxx.Exx episode title.tbn
tv show Sxx.Exy episode title.container
tv show Sxx.Exy episode title.nfo
tv show Sxx.Exy episode title.tbn
etc
It all worked well on the smb, just a little slow. Trying FTP in the hope it's a quicker
thanks in advance for any advice
*edit:
Doing this after the ATV2 decided to freeze. Ultimate solution was to restore in itunes and re jb. As i didnt have a good b/up of things I have decided to take the opportunity to change things around a bit.
