possible bug with album thumbs when using profiles
#1
When creating album thumbs, the strThumb field in the database gets populated with either a "hard" link (on windows), or a link using the masterprofile (linux). This causes problems when sharing database (mysql) and thumbs (smb). When viewing album info I can see the thumbnail, but never in list views. Artist thumbs and fanart is displayed normally.

For example this is how an entry in thumbs in the db looks like:
(on windows): h:\userdata\profiles\mikael\Thumbnails\Music\6\60e7b890.tbn
(on linux):special://masterprofile/profiles/mikael/Thumbnails/Music/6/60e7b890.tbn

If the links to the thumbs would be created using the profile instead, the album thumbs can be shared with no problems. I.e. if the link looks like this:
special://profile/Thumbnails/Music/6/60e7b890.tbn.

How come music thumbnails are fetched differently than other thumbnails (movies, tvshows)? I guess that the albumart in the info view is fetched using a hash based on artist+album and that is why it works there?

The thumbnails from the server are shared over smb and mounted in their matching profiles/user/ directory. (Works perfect for movies and tv-shows.)
The music share is added as a smb network share.

Windows machine log: xbmc.log

profiles.xml

Please tell me if you need additional information.
