Win Share thumbnails over FTP
#1
Hay i try to share my thumbnails whit my XBMCs, I find the most esyest and best way to do it whit FTP as i use FTP for everything else, But when i add a movie and scrape it i don´t get any image, When i think it shuld upload it and yeh "Username/Password" and path us correct but its maybe not working to do that whit FTP but i don´t relly see any reason why it shuld not work. This is my config

<to>ftp://XBMC:[email protected]/Music/</to>

I can add that i just tested to upload the thumbs to FTP folders manually the one that existed in my "MasterProfile" and it shows it just fine in XBMC but not when i scrape new movies

I'm not sure, but I think pathsubs only works with SMB, NFS, and AFP.

SMB stands for Samba and it is Windows default file sharing protocol. When your share a folder that is a SMB share. AFP is the Apple Filing Protocol. It is Apple's default sharing protocol. NFS is Network File System. This is something used mainly by Linux, but you can also setup Windows and Apple to use this protocol for sharing if you want.
