I'm having problems with this skin playing trailers from the context menu on network drives. I have tested it out and when I have a movie on a local drive there is no problem with the skin playing the trailer from the context menu. When I have it on the network drive it won't play at all.
The very same movie copied to a local drive will play just fine. For some reason I am able to play the trailer fine when playing from the 'show information' screen but not from the context menu. I looked at my debug log comparing the two methods and one thing I noticed was that for the trailer playing in the context menu there was a missing slash.
For Example:
ERROR: XBMC.PlayMedia could not play media: \192.168.1.111\Media Center3\Movies\Alice in Wonderland\Alice in Wonderland-trailer.flv
whereas for the trailer that plays correctly in the 'show information' screen it would show:
NOTICE: DVDPlayer: Opening: \\192.168.1.111\Media Center3\Movies\Alice in Wonderland\Alice in Wonderland-trailer.flv
There is a missing slash in the first one. I believe there is something wrong with the way the script is handling the string but I can't figure out how to fix it. I actually ran into this exact problem a year ago with this skin. I fixed it, forgot about it, updated the skin, and now it wont' work again and for the life of me I cannot remember what I did to fix it.
Any help would be appreciated.
