Did the source change work?

*NOTE*
I have used smb://192.168.0.20/Movies

By using the IP this takes out the whole name resolution step, I have setup a DHCP lease for my "Server" so that the IP is always 192.168.0.20
This also helps when you use a multi XBMC setup, and choose to implement a shared MySQL database.
The pre-req is that all sources.xml files look the same.
You cant use smb://server/movies in one setup and smb://192.168.x.x/Movies in another and expect the sharedDB to work correctly.

Yes, SMB works that way for me.

Not really liking it, though. I just don't like having to add 3 different sources for my movies (all within SMB: there are other directories, inside the SMB realm, that are not media). The beauty of UPnP was, that TwonkyMedia (residing on my ESX server) is configured to hold these various media locations, and turns them into a single movie/music source. Wish SMB could do that too.
