I have been able to reproduce the following condition that results in XBMC hanging every time I try to play a video from a SAMBA share within Library mode. Here is the hardware/software involved:
XBMC SVN (I check out daily, so this is confirmed on at least 4 builds)
Apple TV (most recent)
To reproduce the failure mode, I do the following:
1) Delete video database inside /userdata/database
2) Clean library (XBMC command inside video settings)
3) Restart both the Apple TV and the linux server (Ubuntu 10.04)
4) Fire up XBMC and add a samba share by manually entering in the IP address of the box. I use the manual entry method that allows selection of protocol / username / password. I enter the credentials and proceed to browse the share.
Upon doing this procedure I AM ABLE to play video from XBMC while I am NOT in library mode. Upon activation of library mode, when I try to play a video, it will hang with the "working" and swirling status bar in the bottom right hand corner in an infinite loop.
For those with *nix inclinations, here is the samba config file. I suspect this is the problem since I am just learning linux.
Cheers,
