Could be a permissions issue (see
here) or a bad/corrupt DB file (see
here, the one about "SQL errors". This will delete your library and require a re-scan, so might hold out or back up before doing this, incase it isn't the issue).

Hey guys,
nah, it's probably no permission issue, since I am experiencing the same thing with my fathers iPad and my Windows SMB share.
I researched and isolated the issue to a path problem. In the logs the paths have %20 substitutions for spaces, e.g. "smb://PC-X/Media/Die%20Hard/Die%20Hard%20(19xx).avi".
Movies with only one word are working fine, all other bail out on us (obviously).
I'm currently researching a fix...if nobody else has one already, I might work on the code directly and post my stuff here.
If one of the XBMC gurus knows the drill, please post before I invest loads of time in this. Cheers!
Best,
Seb
EDIT: Probably all a load of BS...didn't think hard enough before posting...need more xp with xbmc...sorry...

Try with ip instead of netbios name.

@kno1: Interesting, as it didn't actually need to refresh the folder that the Harry + Kumar file is in. This is the one you tried to start again, right?
If so, it would appear to be some issue with the filecache, as otherwise I think there would have been information in the log about access being attempted.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Ok,
i've been fooling around a little more and I know now how to reproduce it. I can also reproduce it in the windows version, so this is not an iOS specific bug in beta 2, but a bug in xbmc in general. So maybe a moderator can move the thread up to the parent forum.
What you need to do is add multiple sources. I've created an FTP source called HD and set its content to movies. Surprisingly, it contains some movies. Then let xbmc scrape all the info. You can now verify that starting a video through library mode works (I start it from the homescreen by going to movies, then select a movie)
Then I've added a second source, just from the local filesystem and pointed it to a random folder (but the name of the folder (and the source) should start with a letter higher in the alphabet then the ftp source). This source doesn't contain anything, but still set the content type to movies.
After having added this and updating the library, the original video files will no longer be able to play from the library.

Did you add the second source as a second path to the first source, or is it just another source you've added separately?

@jmarshall: I added it as a second separate source. Though during testing on the ipad I actually accidently did that too, and I believe that reproduces the issue too.
But in windows I reproduced the issue by adding a second, separate source, and putting an empty folder in that source.

<edit>
To be clear, the first source/path is ftp, the second one can be anything.
On my ATV's (which never leave the safety of my home network) I'm using SMB to to connect to the same folders. I didn't experience the same issue there, but now that I think about it, I might not have done a library update there with nothing new being found. I had auto-update disabled on them for a couple of days.

Have also seen this issue since B2, but easier to reproduce.
Have ATV set up with FTP as the source, play any movie, press menu back to library view, and either try to go back into same file or play any other movie and u hit the issue.
Will run again tonight and post logs. Will also test against my 2nd ATV which is currently set up as webdav...

BTW,
The files are not stored in the library as being unavailable. If you exit xbmc and then start it again, and don't do a library update, the files can be played through library mode.
