I am currently using 9.11 Beta1 on Ubuntu 9.10, with the Confluence skin. I have my media shared from a Windows box with read-only permissions. I can set up music and video sources pointing to the shares, but not all of the settings I choose are saved. For instance, I set up a source for movies. I selected the media type as movies, then added the "auto-scan" option. I also selected IMDB as my source (it is also the default for this media type), and changed several of the options inside the IMDB setup. If I exit and go back into the settings for the source, it is still selected as movies for the type, but the auto-scan is not selected, and if I go into the options for IMDB, they are set back to the default.
Is this an issue with read-only shares, where XBMC needs to write something to the share? This seems odd, because I can change thumbnails and fan art for the movies and those settings stick. Is this a bug in XBMC? I THINK I may have had this same problem when I briefly ran an older version of XBMC about three months ago, so I'm leaning towards there being a problem with XBMC not liking the read-only share.
Any ideas?
