Sup guys!
I've been a long time user of Kodi/XBMC, and just now registered for the forums. lol I'm a pro linux admin by trade, so hopefully I'll be able to help out some...
Anyway, ran across an issue that I'm trying to get sorted.
Basically, I've got a NAS box that is running CIFS (samba) exports for my media. I've set up a new export that I want to use explicitly for metadata, thumbnails and artwork. The reasoning behind this is that I'm running into i/o issues with a few raspberry pi frontends, and i figured if I put them on the SSD and shared them over the network, everything should be good.
So far, I've not been able to sort out how to do this correctly. From the linux side of the house, I've verified that the CIFS export is working properly (I can mount it).
Currently running Gotham on Openelec. I can post my entire config if needed.... but its prob way more complex than it needs to be lol.
i've hit up the wiki page here: http://kodi.wiki/view/Artwork, as well as attempted the path subsitution thing here: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?pid=...3pid837103 with no luck. I just get 'blank' art when surfing the codi frontend.
anyway, I'll keep tinkering to see if I can find a solution. Just thought I'd ask anyone out there if they've managed to get this working sucessfully.
Thanks!
