i had the same problem with xbmc only playing a movie for a second using smb, but this works.

<bookmark>
<name>movies</name>
<path>smb://"username":"password"@"computer name"/"share"</path>
</bookmark>

<path>smb://"username":"password"@"computer name"/"share"</path>

is the important part of that the quote marks?

thanks.

no, please ignore the quotation marks, please read as:

<path>smb://username:password@computername/sharename</path>
or
<path>smb://username:password@computeripaddress/sharename</path>

sorry guys but i am using this syntax, otherwise i could not log into the samba folder and play mp3s.
so, i believe there should be another issue here.
the video quits after a couple of seconds.
any other idea?
thanks for your answers though
