I have a remote server with video files and use xbmc to stream them. I was using https for the source, and that was working well videos streamed smoothly, watched status was remembered, but there's a deal-breaking issue where for some reason xbmc does not show any files that have very long filenames when using https source.
So I switched to sftp, which fixed that issue, but streaming speed was way too slow resulting in video often stopping to buffer.
So then I switched to using ftp (with implicit tls auth), with this I see all files and streaming speeds are good, but now its not remembering watched status! After watching a show the watched checkmark shows up, but if I watch another video or navigate to another folder it disappears.
Is this a limitation of ftp sources in xbmc, or is there something wrong on my end? i'm using the latest stable xbmcbuntu.
