Design Flaws / Missing Features

I have several shares enabled for the Video file browser (non Library mode).

The first few are direct SMB paths ("smb://server/folder/folder/etc" "smb://pc/folder/folder/etc"). The last is just "smb://".

Code:

04:01:37 T:1276 ERROR: Couldn't connect to \\extrafanart, error code 53 04:01:37 T:1276 ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting smb://extrafanart/

Anyone know how to fix it?

SMB:// is not a valid share path. It's like typing http:// in a browser and pushing "enter" - it's not going to work.

You can see that it's trying to go to smb://extrafanart/ where it's expecting a host to exist called 'extrafanart'. You need to remove that share or correct it.

smb:// has been used by XBMC for years to browse all SMB shares. Been using it since the beginning. Regardless, the bug I've reported is evident with other shares as well. ANY share that I have added media to the library from.

smb://server/ as a share tries to find smb://server/extrafanart/ where no such folder exists. If I remove the items from the library, or turn off extrafanart it no longer freezes there.

I can confirm, I've got the same problem with the extrafanart and smb shares.

How does it behave in other skins that support extra fanart?

First of all I wanted to say my family and I love the neon skin. Since updating to eden and the most receint version of neon, we have noticed one issue. At the episode level of any tv show the same fanart is shown. The correct fanart for the tv show at the show and season level, but once you go to the episode it switches to the fanart for the movie 30 minutes or less. Any thoughts on what might be causing that?

I'm not seeing any issue like that. Is it with all views or just one in particular?

Other skins with extrafanart did not have that problem. I created a thread about it here in the Neon forum. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=119576
as well as my original post in this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=984...tcount=460

That sounds like a library issue to me. Try another skin, see if it still happens. I get random fanart appearing whenever I'm on the ".." in my TV Library. Not particularly an issue, just sounds similar to what you're saying.

The issue occurs in all views. When I go to the tv show info the correct fanart is shown but when viewing the episodes the fanart for 30 seconds or less is displayed as the background. I think it probably is a library issue.....i had some issues upgrading to eden and updating the mysql database.

Hi,

1st of all its absolutely the best skin of XBMC, I've tried all of em and I decided to use yours!

2nd thing I'd like to mention is, that the "watched"-icon is too dark using "Poster"-mode to see it properly, I'd personally prefer it in a lighter red color

Finally: why is there another "watched"-icon "LandPanel"? The single titles are just crossed out... it would look much nicer with the normal symbol

Thank you for your efforts!
