Trying to setup database & thumbnail syncing on my QNAP Nas, database syncing works perfectly from both my Mac & ATV2, however, after following all the instructions, adding a path substitute in the advanced.xml, the thumbnails are still local, not on the server;
<pathsubstitution>
<substitute>
<from>special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/</from>
<to>smb://192.168.1.17/Public/xbmc/thumbnails/</to>
</substitute>
</pathsubstitution>
I tried adding an user-id/password in the smb line: no luck.
The xbmc log file doesn't show an error, it shows its loading the advanced settings.xml, but the thumbnails are still created in my local dir, not on the server. Any ideas ?
