So, I just setup a new installation using Windows 8.1 on my new NUC and found a strange bug with NFS.
Since the Beta 2 release (and probably some nightly in-between Beta 1 > Beta 2) XBMC seems to be incapable of loading images (testing with jpgs)
Other files (even in the same folder) such as the actual video files open and play perfectly..
I noticed it since when I connected the new install to my shared library I got no thumbs for anything, after a bit of digging I added my video folder to the pictures section of XBMC and found I can browse to the files but no thumb / image is displayed when the poster/fanart files are selected.
However if I connect the same folder using SMB it works fine and I can see the images.
I've tried the latest nightly Gotham build as for 23/03 and it's still the same, however if I install Beta 1 then I can see all images fine over NFS (without making any server side change).
I have confirmed this bug on two different PC's (one being the machine actually hosting the NFS shares)
When I open a fanart file manually in the 'bugged' version I get this:-
Under normal use (browsing library) there are no errors logged (it shows open / close of the NFS file) but nothing gets displayed.
I guess this is due to a recent change of the NFS library for Windows, but hopefully something that can be fixed as it renders an NFS library hard to use as there are no thumbs for anything
BTW: If I can gather more detailed info I'm happy to help, I scoured the debug logs and the above is the only thing I can find in reference to the issue..
