I've been using the xbox version for a long time and have all my directories setup with tbn's and folder.jpg. When I tried out the windows SDL version, it would not load them over SMB shares, local or mapped drives work fine.
I did some tracing to figure out, the XBMC log was useless, it only said it could not create the file.
I ran wireshark, and could see it finding the files, but not trying to read the file.
Then I ran filemon and found the problem:
When using a share such as smb://servername/share... XBMC attemped to open the thumbnail as such: [path to XBMC on local drive]/smb://servername/share/folder/file
So if you had it in c:\xbmc it would be c:\xbmc\smb://servername/share/folder/folder.jpg
which obviously does not work. I also tried using \\servername\share as the format, but that does not fix the problem either, since I can't even play the files that way. (although it does show them)
Has anyone else run into this problem? I'm guessing this is a bug in the code and not something I'm doing wrong because, this same configuration works fine with the xbox version.
