I'm trying to get path substitution to work for shared thumbnails, but I'm using profile so it gets a little tricky. I am able to substitute the path for the masterprofile (which I renamed to Adults) and it is working very well so far.

But I'm not sure what I need to specify for the Kids profile. I've tried several things but nothing is working so far. Here's a full look at the path substitution from my advanced.xml file:

<pathsubstitution>
<substitute>
<from>special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/</from>
<to>smb://192.168.1.133/videos/Thumbnails/</to>
</substitute>
<substitute>
<from>special://profile/Kids/Thumbnails/</from>
<to>smb://192.168.1.133/kidsvideos/Thumbnails/</to>
</substitute>
</pathsubstitution>

Have I screwed things up by renaming the masterprofile as Adults? Or do I need to use a different <from> syntax for the Kids profile? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have same problem.. Can anybody help?

Use special://profile instead of special://masterprofile. Just "profile" will always look at the currently loaded profile.

so it should be

<from>special://profile/Thumbnails/</from>
<to>smb://192.168.1.133/videos/Thumbnails/</to>

<from>special://profile/Thumbnails/</from>
<to>smb://192.168.1.133/videos/Thumbnails/</to>

I have two different thumbnail locations depending on what profile is used. Is there any way to specify what profile should be paired up with a specific directory?

Kids profile = kidsvideos/Thumbnails
Adults profile = videos/Thumbnails

Just make the advancedsettings.xml file different for the kids profile so that it says:

<from>special://profile/Thumbnails/</from>
<to>smb://192.168.1.133/kidsvideos/Thumbnails</to>

Totally forgot that the profile would have its own advancedsettings.xml file. Set it up as you said and all is working well, thanks Ned!
