Hi Jonathan,

Done the hard way: removed the passwords.xml in the userdata folder.

Anyway I'm seeing a strange behaviour: even removing all the sources (of any kind, video, music and picture) I see that the entry for the server/share is still present in the passwords.xml. This persists after relaunching XBMC.

To be sure of the above I've checked the sources.xml and passwords.xml files directly (after shutdown and relaunch): I see a user/pwd for a server that is not related to any source.

What I'd expect in the 9.11's new user/pass management stuff is a check to be done as a last action when removing a source. If the removed source is the last source related to any server entry in the passwords.xml then this entry has to be removed. Do you agree?

Do you think it would it make sense to submit as a feature request (via trac I guess)?

Given the general case (like mine) where you may have many users defined on the NAS but just one to be used for XBMC, the use-case is exactly when you need to use a different user/pass WRT with respect to what you may have already inserted (and checked to remember) previously. Now, IMHO, the only way to fix this is to remove the passwords.xml file.

Looking forward for your opinion.

Thanks,
Davide

I've been trying to get XBMC to re-read and update the tags in my music files as I have cleaned them up. After updating the library XBMC still displays the tag info that was in the files before I cleaned them up. Will clean-up library resolve this? If not is there another way besides deleting the database and rebuilding it?
