But this way the images are always loading from the network and aren't shared locally. Or am I mistaken?

Indeed through network. It is slower than local i must admit but i use a 1000mbit network.

So this is identical to using the symlink command in windows? I am on a wireless N network and the speed isnt really an issue unless I try to scroll quickly through my library. In case, the images dont load quick enough, causing a lag, and jerky response. What kind of lag are you seeing on your wired network? I was hoping going wired would eliminate the jerkiness I am seeing.

Do you have to be using pre-eden nightly build if you want to share out the thumbnail folder and use the subsitute method in advancedsettings.xml file.

I'm using the Dharma 10.1?

With a 2 line patch I've changed the behaviour such that if the thumbnail doesn't exist it copies it from the .tbn in the movie folder instead of auto-generating. This allows me to have centralized thumbnails which are copied and cached to each client.

How did you do it Confused

?

If and when I have time I'll get video and music thumbs using it.

Any news on that?

video thumbs are done through the texture cache as well now and jmarshall is working on music thumbs.
