I'm using Mint 15 for these logs and browser "paste" logs
For the xbmc.log above, I started XBMC, went to "Customize main menu" in MQ5, selected "replace this menu with Video Node" and then tried to go "into" XBMB3C. It threw the script failed error. Then I tried to replace the main menu item with a "Video add-on" and chose XBMB3C. I went back to the main menu and selected XBMB3C, and the "script failed" error showed up there as well (as expected based on the Video Node navigation in MQ5 main menu setup not working)
To give some more info on my setup, I don't use any samba username or password (network shares are r/w on Mint 15 with no username or password)
I enter the username for MB3, but I have no password (so I leave that blank)
Previously (days ago) to "try" working around what may be some kind of samba username password requirement, I entered my server's (W8.1) username and login in the XBMB3C config and still received the errors.
Also, not sure if this is related, but I am running the server as a service. On my one successful use of this excellent add-on (from W7 laptop) I did not need to enter a samba username or password.

Ideally, I would like to run this on RaspBMC and use one of the many XBMC remote control apps. If I understand correctly, this wouldn't work with the remote apps because it is not emulating the native library but rather creating a new library (and optionally hiding the native library). Is that right? Is it possible for an addon to emulate the native library so that it works with XBMC remote control apps?
Thanks for the great addition to MB3!

Got one issue and one question
Issue:
I have MB3 running on a server and I have client with XBMC/XBMB3C and Media Browser Theater. On my server I have Blu Ray rips made with MakeMKV (disk backups, not mkv files). Media Browser Theater plays them fine. XBMC/XBMB3C does not. I comes up with the Resume prompt if the show is not completely watched but the video just does not start.
Is this a supported config? Do you want a log?
Question.
I am experimenting with MB3 as a back end for a friend. He has 2 AppleTV 2's. The Apple TV 2 is not the strongest engine in the world for running skins. Is there a way to make XBMB3C the main top menu video provider in Confluence? How does using MB3 server backend XBMC/XBMB3C client perform verses XBMC internal database for presenting meta data and art? How complete is the service for meta data, art and library status provided by XBMB3C?

If I understand you correctly, yes, that is the path to the root of the BR rip.
If I browse the path with xbmc, i have to browse all the way to the BDMV/index.bdmv file to play the movie.
Setting a source with the path //THE-BUCKET/BluRayRips/MediaBrowserLib/Movies and xbmc can find and play the movies.
I'm having the same issue in WMC\Media Browser Classic too. Media Browser Theater plays BR rips
How big of an effort would it be to move from being a python add-in to a C++ module in the core XBMC product?
