I'm getting about 50s screen hung when entering TVShows library if I have my NAS offline (also navigation is horrible). Making usability of Library pretty much to nothing.

It seems to me, that XBMC tries to access those tv shows on smb shares which haven't got episode thumbs from thetvdb scraper. But I generated all those thumbs automatically accessing all episodes prior to this!

How can I prevent this happening? Sad

I don't really want XBMC unnecessary accessing smb sources even if they're available, unless it's ofc required for actual media playback.

Thanks for any help.

XBMC Live, SVN 21866

tried to disable automatic creation of thumbs, look for remote share, neither did help.

Basically if I have 1 smb source unavailable it makes a navigation in library really painful process. It doesn't matter if thumbs were scraped or not, but initial library enter definitely has something to do with thumbs, if I enter TV show which got episode thumbs extracted from video I don't see any of them, after a while they will randomly appear from local cache, still xbmc tries to reach source first...

I can post more debug logs, if anyone want to look into it.

It's not just trying to fetch the thumbs.. at least I don't think so.

Please provide a log where you have disabled the option to generate thumbs for those that don't exist. Also, you mentioned you already generated the thumbs... how did you do that?

Thanks.

I generated thumbs when source was online by accessing all seasons of all my tv shows. They worked fine when source was online.

Full debug log with automatically generate thumbs disabled here:

In this one I also entered one show as an example of what I described above.
thumb crcs won't match, i edited my nas path little bit for obvious reasons! but they appear all ok after while (source still offline)

Also worth mentioning is that my second NAS is being accessed when entering library, this one is online, but sometime at standby and unneccesary requests like this one wakes it up.

It's hard to say what the call is that is going to your NAS at this time (and the reason for it).

If you can debug this and add a breakpoint to see where this is trying to call OpenDir, that would help tremendously.

What do you mean by adding a breakpoint? Care to explain that little bit to me? Thanks!

I've tried "Mount SMB shares" in Network settings, but I think it doesn't work. I have smbfs installed made sudo changes, but I don't see any mounted points, where are they supposed to be mounted? Is this option valid?
