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.

Code:

[global]
workgroup = workgroup
netbios name = theSpacecraft
server string =
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
map to guest = bad user
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = no
dns proxy = no
security = user

[public]

path = /media/Drobo/
public = yes
only guest = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = no

Cheers,

A debug log would be interesting.
