"Never look for thumbs on ftp shares, could potentially be very slow, but especially server owners won't like us banging their servers looking for files all over the place."

I, like a lot of others, use my home computer to serve xbmc via ftp. It would be very cool if this could be offered as an option. I really liked seeing my album art while browsing in older builds.

WTF are you using FTP to share stuff. Use a streaming protocol, such as UPnP, XBMSP or even SMB.

The Freebox is an ADSL Modem/multimedia box/PVR equipped with a 40GB hard drive that the French internet service provider named Free provides to its ADSL subscribers.

You can access the Hard Disk with FTP (and usb external Hdd too), i use this hd with Xbmc and an XBMSP share with my Pc Hdd's too, but since there is no thumbs look on FTP, i can't have thumbs with the content of the Hard Drive(s) of my Freebox..

It would be a good feature to add look for thumbs to FTP for people having hardware like this Freebox .

I already serve my shares via ftp so why would i want to run another service just for XBMC that provides no extra benefit?

Hey Guys, there is a small but a big Problem for me with my xbmc.
I like to share my files over a server with 2 plugged harddisks, which you can achieve with a FTP.
So a few weeks ago there where no Problems to get the nice thumbnails , but nowadays I don't know why, I can't see any thumbnails.

Support for thumbnails over FTP have been removed so it is working as designed. For more information please read the whole topic thread I moved/merged your post into.

UPnP, XBMSP or even SMB.

Which Server-Tools (only Freeware) for those Protocols can you recommend me?.
And forget the Windows SMB implementation!
MFXStream looks great , ccx gui its fine but not great
What's about with UPnP Server-applications for Windows XP?.
